Miia Kivipelto – författare

Här kan du läsa om hur du på bästa sätt tar hand om din hjärnhälsa och minskar risken för alzheimer och minnesproblem. Författarna är ledande forskare inom området och visar på risk- och friskfaktorer. 

Boken bygger på FINGER-modellen, den enda studie i världen som visar att livsstilen kan förebygga minnesproblem och förbättra hjärnhälsan. Genom att aktivera alla fem fingrarna , det vill säga införa flera livsstilsförändringar samtidigt, kan det få tydlig effekt för hjärnan, minnesproblem och generell hälsa. Förutom fakta och kunskap får du konkreta råd och inspiration. Här finns också ett trettiotal recept på god och hälsosam mat.

FINGER-modellen kan användas såväl av friska personer som av dem som redan har minnesproblem. För personer med begynnande alzheimer ökar chansen att behålla viktiga minnesfunktioner längre.

New Developments in Dementia Prevention Research addresses a dearth of knowledge about dementia prevention and shows the importance of considering the broader social impact of certain risk factors, including the role we each play in our own cognitive health throughout the lifespan. The book draws on primary and secondary research in order to investigate the relationship between modifiable factors, including vascular and psychosocial risks, that may affect the incidence of dementia.

Bringing together world-leading expertise from applied science, medicine, psychology, health promotion, epidemiology, health economics, social policy and primary care, the book compares and contrasts scientific and service developments across a range of settings. Each chapter presents these themes in a way that will ensure best practice and further research in the field of dementia prevention is disseminated successfully throughout the world. Perhaps most importantly, chapters also question what type of social responsibility we are prepared to embrace in order to address the challenges inherent in dementia prevalence.

New Developments in Dementia Prevention Research includes contributions from leading authorities in brain health and dementia prevention and provides an essential contribution to the discourse on dementia prevention. It will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of the psychological and social aspects of aging and dementia.
