Very interesting to see what priorities for dementia prevention should be in India. Less education hearing impairment and physical impairment Naaheed Mukadam #claraBellesetiosRichards Louise Marston

Our paper looking at potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia and cognitive impairment in India is published today Naaheed Mukadam Gill Livingston Louise Marston onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

NEW—Global #dementia cases set to triple from estimated 57 million in 2019 to 153 million in 2050 unless risk factors addressed. First study to forecast dementia prevalence in 195 countries & territories, published in The Lancet Public Health: hubs.li/Q011FF570 Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) #GBDStudy

New research led by @ChouliarasL at Cambridge FTD identified different proteins in the blood plasma of people with different types of dementia, which could help differentiate between the conditions. Read the paper here: jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/…

Big news. Jobs with Penny Rapaport @LuceWebby Naaheed Mukadam & me on DREAMS-START UCL Psychiatry. Help people with dementia sleep better, increase inclusivity and measure EEG at home. May be third job with Andrew Sommerlad atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/… atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/…

Exciting day of global dementia updates #ADI2022 with Clara Naaheed Mukadam UCL Psychiatry @KiaOvalEvents ADI

Come and visit our poster ADI @KiaOvalEvents on psychiatric features in normal pressure hydrocephalus at ADI2022! With Esha Abrol Gill Livingston and Eileen Joyce

Great talk by Naaheed Mukadam on genetic risk loci in diverse ethnic groups ADI UCL Psychiatry

Great to talk to NYTimes on dementia risk reduction. Even better US CDC is acting on it. Proud of the work of our colleagues UCL Psychiatry and worldwide on The Lancet dementia commission. Dementia Prevention Method May Be Behavioral, Not Prescribed nytimes.com/2022/07/03/hea…

I listen to quite a lot of podcasts to learn and stay up-to-date in psychiatry. Here's a 🧵with some of the best: #psychiatry #mentalhealth #podcasts

Always lovely to have babies at our conferences! We ensure there’s private rooms to feed / pump/ nap etc Here’s a little 3 month old enjoying the #arukclinicalconf #workingmum #womenindementia

Sex differences in dementia risk and risk factors. New international study suggests: - dementia risk was higher in women than men - greater risk in women was most pronounced in LMICs nationalelfservice.net/?p=184132

Pleased to have written this blog with Clara - Women are consistently at higher risk of dementia. Increased health equity for women could reduce dementia cases, especially in low and middle income countries where higher dementia risk in women was strongest. Have a read!

My letter in The Times today. Having capacity is key to #Assisted Dying bill. Capacity safety amendments were voted down. Capacity can be complex & difficult even with years' of experience.

Medicine and #psychiatry in this country changed significantly today. Let’s hope this shift doesn’t come at the cost of quality #palliative care, or lead to premature, unnecessary deaths among the vulnerable, poor, and mentally ill. Time for the Lords to earn its keep…

To shunt or not to shunt, that is the (NPH) question? The first large randomized trial of shunting for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) just dropped in NEJM, and there was clear benefit for walking, and it favored the group receiving shunts. Spoiler alert: Walking improved,
