On 29 April, 30 April and 2 May, the members of the ADIS Young Adults Advisory Board (ADIS YA-AB) met online in three sessions that were also attended by David Bartrés-Faz (Universidad de Barcelona), and facilitated by Soraya Moradi-Bachiller (Public Involvement Officer at Alzheimer Europe). During the first part of the consultations, members of the ADIS YA-AB talked about successful ageing and the reasons why they think some people grow older while maintaining their cognitive abilities optimally. It was also discussed what and how young adults could learn from older adults who aged successfully. The second part of the consultation was focused on the stigma around Alzheimer's disease, which, in young adults, was mostly associated with disinformation and misunderstanding about neurodegenerative diseases and people who have them. Members of the ADIS YA-AB provided insightful feedback during these consultations, which are part of a series of meetings that will help shape a brain health campaign for young adults.
