This year’s symposium was a virtual event drawing over 130 attendees
In May, the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) 12th Research Symposium occurred over the course of 2 days. Researchers and interested individuals gathered online to discuss research related to the ACT Study and brain aging science.
The ACT Study is a long-running cohort study that follows older adults who receive care as Kaiser Permanente Washington members. Since 1994, thousands of adults have enrolled in the study, contributing a wide range of information with a goal of helping to develop better ways of preventing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Co-leads of the ACT Study are Linda McEvoy, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI); Paul Crane, MD, MPH, of University of Washington; and Andrea LaCroix, PhD, of University of California, San Diego.
