Brain Health Recipe

The Alzheimer’s Association U.S. POINTER* two-year clinical trial tested whether working on multiple dementia rick factors at the same time can improve the brain health of older adults. The Association posted a one-page infographic that outlines the “recipe” for maintaining brain health.

You can read more about the study on the Alzheimer’s U.S. POINTER web page. The Association stated “A majority of intervention participants agreed to participate in the U.S. POINTER Alumni Extension, which allows for four more years of observation to assess longer-term impacts of the study’s interventions on cognitive health and dementia risk.”.

Two detailed reports were also distributed to NARFE Alzheimer’s coordinators and posted on the Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures page – 2026 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures (96 pages) and Brain Health in America: Understanding and Supporting Lifelong Cognitive Health (14 pages). Another resource on that page is the infographic, 2026 ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE FACTS AND FIGURES.
