The science of Alzheimer’s: where are we going?

Alzheimer's disease is estimated to account for 60–70% of the 47.5 million cases of dementia worldwide. It is one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people and has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a public health priority. Despite the increased focus on this disease, many questions remain unanswered.
Join us on September 22 as Jay Ingram, one of Canada’s best-known and most popular science personalities, and Dr. Christopher Patterson, an expert on the diagnosis and treatment of dementia, examine the latest research and evidence into risks, prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
