    Investigating Risk and Protective Factors for Dementia in a Multi-Ethnic Cohort

    What is this Study about?

    The aim of our study is to better understand whether certain lifestyle factors (such as physical activity and hearing) are related to early changes in memory and thinking abilities in older adults. We are especially interested in enrolling individuals who are South Asian or East Asian, because little research has focused on brain health in Canadians of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.

    By participating, you will help us better understand how lifestyle factors are related to memory and thinking changes in adults from diverse communities. We hope that this will lead to improved prevention and early intervention strategies for dementia.

    - Are 55-85 years old

    • A caregiver, at least 18 years of age, and supporting a friend, partner, or family member with a diagnosis of dementia living in the community.
