A new publication about the EU-FINGERS project has been launched as a supplement to the 43rd edition of Alzheimer Europe's policy magazine, "Dementia in Europe". Both publications coincided with the first day of the 33rd Alzheimer Europe Conference (33AEC), in Helsinki and all delegates received a copy of the magazine and EU-FINGERS supplement in their conference bags. EU-FINGERS is a project funded by the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND), the largest global research initiative aimed at tackling the challenge of neurodegenerative diseases. EU-FINGERS is a multinational interdisciplinary consortium that has been growing since its launch in 2020 and is part of the global World-Wide FINGERS® network of multidomain trials for dementia risk reduction and prevention.
It gathers world-renowned experts in the field of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, who are leading pioneering multidomain prevention trials. It builds upon the successful experience of FINGER: the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability, which demonstrated that a two-year multimodal life-style intervention consisting of nutritional guidance, exercise, cognitive training and control of vascular risk factors benefitted cognition in older people at increased risk of dementia. In EU-FINGERS, the partners aim to develop tools to advance, optimise and scale-up the FINGER model across Europe. You can download the EU-FINGERS supplement, here:
