In this webinar, we are looking to achieve the following learning objectives:

To appraise the role of the multiple neuropathology that is associated with dementia
To understand population level estimates of risk factors and its potential reversibility
To peruse current evidence for dementia prevention from RTCs
To present the results from the national SYNERGIC Trial.

This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).
