What did we achieve/learn last year?What is new this year?What is our plan for future IDRP efforts?
Enjoy your lunch! We will resume momentarily!
Incredible increase in number of faculty doing IDRP research (because of you)
Incredible increase in number of faculty doing IDRP research (because of you) 12th largest study (~1,400), and on way to top 10
First manuscripts accepted/submitted First grants obtained First pharmaceutical trial for AD secured Large exercise trial for AD
What did we achieve/learn last year? That “face naming” test That “food question” thing Changes in cognition year-year
Hanges in Is there a relationship between cognitive decline and carbohydrate, fat or protein intake?
Changes in cognition year-year We want to understand what causes decline and dementia, and prevent it! We want to have options for those with AD!
What is new this year? More homework Loose clothing Fitness measures Taste tests High tech gait analysis
What is new this year? More homework Loose clothing Fitness measures Taste tests High tech gait analysis It is your choice in deciding what measures to do
Fitness Balance Stress Nutrition Cognition Sleep Depression Lifestyle AGE Body Composition
Measure Changes in: Velocity Cadence Variability w/distraction
Why do we have a focus on diet, body composition, physical activity?
66% of Americans are overweight or obese CDC Projects Type 2 Diabetes Rates Could Grow to 1 in 3 Americans by 2050
National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC, are the deaths per 100,000 population,
A priority is to provide you valuable feedback Next year will have even more feedback !!! We will continue to offer new things…. Fitness Balance Stress Nutrition Cognition Sleep Depression Lifestyle AGE Body Composition
What is our plan for future IDRP efforts? Neuroimaging NIH trials for cognitive decline Pharmaceutical trials for AD Exercise trials More intensive measures of sleep, physical activity, metabolism, and genes Brain bank
