Multi-MeMo (“Shorter- and longer-term mechanisms of multimodal interventions to prevent dementia”) is a European funded project that focuses on brain health in older people, overall, and tailored, multidomain interventions (i.e., targeting multiple risk factors simultaneously) for the risk-reduction of cognitive impairment and dementia, in particular. On 25 September, six members of the Multi-MeMo Advisory Board (AB) gathered for an online meeting. The AB comprises members of the public, both with and without cognitive impairment. The meeting was facilitated by Sarah Campill (Alzheimer Europe), who was joined by Cindy Birck (Alzheimer Europe), Mariagnese Barbera (University of Eastern Finland), Laura Forcano, Natalia Soldevila Domenech and Rafael de la Torre (Hospital del Mar Research Institute).
The main topic was on diversity in lifestyle intervention studies (e.g. FINGERS or PENSA). All the feedback provided to the research partners was very valuable and relevant for carrying out and planning current and future research projects within the Multi-MeMo consortium.
