I want to thank our studio audience for being here with us as well as our guests. And to you at home, thanks for watching. Nearly every one of us hs some experience with memory loss. Maybe you have a friend, a parent or grandparent who lives with dimentia. There is no cure, but there may be a way of slowing its progress. We'll explore that possibility today on Changing Aging in the Granite State. "Every minute in the United States, someone is diagnosed with dimentia. And in the next 20 years 1 in 3 people will be affected by this devestating disease. Welcome to Changing Aging in the Granite State, I'm Allison McNair. In 2014, more than 22,000 people in New Hampshire had dementia, most of which is Alzheimer's Disease. And the Alzheimer's Association of New Hampshire warns we can expect a dramatic increase as baby boomers age. At this time, there's not a cure for dementia, however, there are promising signs that lifestyle can slow its onset and progression. Joining me to talk about what this might mean for you are: Robert Santulli M.D., Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth; Stephen Bartels M.D.; Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Rebecca Rule a New Hampshire author and caregiver. Being socially active is critical for both the person living with dimentia and their caregiver. As challenging as it is to look at a future where 1 out of 3 people in the US will be affected by dimentia, we learned today there is hope and help available to those who are willing to make lifestyle changes. And change starts now. Thanks for joining us on Changing Aging in the Granite State. We didn't cover everything today on the program so we invite you to go to our website nhptv.org/aging to find additional resources. Ialso want to thank our wonderful studio audience for being here with us as well as our guests Dr. Robert Santulli, Dr. Stephen Bartels, author and caregiver REbecca Rule and Woody and Judy Spanogal. |
