Course Overview

Every day approximately 12,000 baby boomers are turning 65 in the United States. As more people achieve longevity, more people may address cognitive challenges that can impact physical and mental health and impair quality of life. It is important to recognize that approximately 40% of noncommunicable disease, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive impairment, are correlated to modifiable risk factors that directly affect brain health and aging. This course will provide learners with insight into brain composition, disease and conditions that specifically affect brain health, details about modifiable risk factors that directly affect the brain, and steps to take for self-care that can positively impact brain health and functionality. Learners will gain insight into the effects of personal choice and some behaviors on the brain, as well as details about age-related physical changes that can affect the brain. While the impact of many dementias is often spoken about, this course will unveil steps for improving brain health and mitigating disease and impairment.
