Healthy Brain Study
Healthy Brain Study will identify and characterize early risk factors that predict memory decline and dementia in adults with or without early signs of memory impairment. Data will be collected for this study at enrollment and every year thereafter for 5 years. The data collected will help examine changes in cognitive function, physical function, and brain structure in older adults. We will also study how the body processes sugar and how that may relate to change in brain function over time. Ages 55 and older and not on injectable medication for diabetes.
