Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Brain Aging Resource

Produced for the National Institute on Aging's designated Alzheimer's Disease Centers and also available through ADEAR (Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center), two new video programs have been created to educate the public about healthy brain aging and to provide a look at the impact of Alzheimer's disease on everyday Americans.

Shining a Light on Alzheimer's Disease...Through Research presents a sobering and moving look at the immense personal and societal impact of Alzheimer’s disease in the US today; the efforts of researchers world-wide to head off a looming Alzheimer’s epidemic, and how healthy individuals, as well as those with Alzheimer’s disease, are vital to advancing that research.

Taking the Steps to Healthy Brain Aging shows how the latest in animal research and association studies offer powerful clues to lifestyle choices that may reduce our risk for dementia, and how individuals can adopt these strategies in their own lives.

These programs were made possible by a grant from the MetLife Foundation.

These programs were developed and produced in collaboration with researchers at the Alzheimer's Disease Centers listed below. Visit their websites for more about their research efforts:

• Mayo Clinic
• University of California, Irvine
• University of Pennsylvania
• Washington University, St. Louis
