DemSem Full Semester Schedule

The talk will discuss how population aging is a global phenomenon, with virtually every country in the world is experiencing growth in the number and proportion of older persons in their population. In light of this trend, I will introduce innovations in global aging research, particularly in the area of cognition and Alzheimer’s Disease and AD-Related Dementias. This will include new data on cognition, dementia, and dementia risk factors, as well as discussion on emerging evidence and opportunities for further research.

Dr. Jinkook Lee is the Director of the Program on Global Aging, Health, and Policy.
