Episode Summary

In Part 3 of the August 2020 Risk Factors episodes, Naila will take you through research on how education and other cognitive factors can influence cognitive decline in later life, tell you about the positive effects of social and family support systems, and discuss papers that examine multiple risk factors at once, in an attempt to get a more complete picture of the complex genetic and environmental interactions that cause AD.
