What did we achieve/learn last year?

What is new this year?

What is our plan for future IDRP efforts?

Enjoy your lunch!

We will resume momentarily!

What did we achieve/learn last year?

Incredible increase in number of faculty doing IDRP research (because of you)

Incredible increase in number of faculty doing IDRP research (because of you)

12th largest study (~1,400), and on way to top 10

First manuscripts accepted/submitted

First grants obtained

First pharmaceutical trial for AD secured

Large exercise trial for AD

What did we achieve/learn last year?

That “face naming” test

That “food question” thing

Changes in cognition year-year

That “food question” thing

•

Hanges in

Is there a relationship between

cognitive decline and carbohydrate,

fat or protein intake?

We want to understand what causes decline and dementia, and prevent it!We want to have options for those with AD!

What is new this year?

It is your choice in deciding what measures to do

Depression

Why do we have a focus on diet, body composition, physical activity?

66% of Americans are overweight or obese

CDC Projects Type 2 Diabetes Rates Could Grow to 1 in 3 Americans by 2050

National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC, are the deaths per 100,000 population,

Depression

A priority is to provide you valuable feedback

Next year will have even more feedback !!!

We will continue to offer new things….

What is our plan for future IDRP efforts?

Neuroimaging

NIH trials for cognitive decline Pharmaceutical trials for AD Exercise trials

More intensive measures of sleep, physical activity, metabolism, and genes
