Research About Prevention, Early Intervention and Risk Reduction
- Understanding Risks for Dementia
- This program will include identification and review of ‘established’ and new or emerging risk factors; genetic-biological markers, environment and lifestyle factors and their interaction in developing dementia will also be examined.
- Development of Diagnostic Tools and Algorithms for Early Dementia
- Diagnostic tools and pathways for cognitive testing (e.g. checklists, computerised and on-line or self-administered tools) will be reviewed and developed. Neuro-imaging projects will include the development of the Australian Normative and Dementia Imaging Database (ANDI) whilst methodological development of dementia-related biomarkers will also be undertaken.
