While we

factors may lower the chances of developing dementia or delay its onset

scientific advances on risk reduction and the importance of including
risk reduction as a national priority. Presenters will discuss actions
that public health professionals, health care providers, and community
service organizations can take to include risk reduction strategies and
address the cross-cutting theme of social determinates of health.
