UW-Madison’s Dorothy Farrar-Edwards spoke with NBC15 about the upcoming Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center’s 16th annual community event about Alzheimer’s prevention.
Farrar-Edwards is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor with the School of Education’s Department of Kinesiology.
The speakers at the event will be presenting evidence-based strategies to maintain healthy brains, including diet, exercise and cardiovascular health.
“Our research center is working at both ends of the research continuum. We’re looking at the causes of Alzheimer’s disease and potential treatments, but we’re also looking at prevention, which is really important,” Farrar-Edwards said in the interview.
The community event is on Wednesday, Oct. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Gordon Dining and Events Center on the UW-Madison campus, and is free and open to the public.
