Dementia Big
A major effort is underway to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia for older African Americans. Neuroscientist Mark Gluck of Rutgers University-Newark (RU-N) is leading a team that will use a five-year $1-million grant from the New Jersey Department of Health—obtained through a competition among states for funding from the federal Department of Health and Human Services—to teach people how to protect their brains through exercise. They hope to demonstrate that this improves memory and cognitive vitality, reducing people’s risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
