Workshop on brain health in Bengaluru today

Bengaluru: Dementia India Alliance (DIA) is organising a free workshop on brain health in collaboration with Ivory, Nimhans, NMT Eldercare, Centre for Brain Research, and Vayah Vikas on Saturday at 9.30 am at the Centre for Brain Research, Bengaluru.

Research indicates that up to 45 per cent of dementia cases can be prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, poor diet, social isolation, smoking, and unmanaged chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.

This workshop aims to empower elders, families, caregivers, and health professionals with the knowledge and tools for dementia prevention, early detection, and better brain health management.

The session will feature expert talks by clinicians and brain health specialists on topics including dementia risk reduction strategies, the importance of cognitive screening, and maintaining brain health through lifestyle changes.

The event will also offer free memory screening to help identify individuals at risk of cognitive decline.
