Reducing Dementia Risk in Older Adults Affected by Cardio-Metabolic Disease

PI: Weili Xu

Researcher in Medicine

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs, including heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes) increase the risk of dementia. The goal of this project is to advance our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of CMDs and dementia, and to discover novel compensatory mechanisms against CMD-associated dementia.
