Alzheimer's and dementia are major global health challenges, with prevalence increasing as populations age. 根据最近的估计, around 50 million people worldwide are living with dementia, and this number is projected to nearly triple by 2050. These conditions not only affect individuals but also place significant burdens on families, 护理人员, 以及全球医疗保健系统.

The 亚洲世界中心 joins 内布拉斯加州世界事务理事会 in virtually hosting Claire Sexton, DPhil.  She is senior director, Scientific Programs and Outreach at the Alzheimer’s Association. 在这个角色中, she leads research programs and initiatives to accelerate the Association’s scientific agenda.

Dr Sexton will present statistics on the global prevalence of Alzheimer's and dementia, and the latest research advances into risk reduction, early diagnosis and treatment for Alzheimer's and other dementia. Her talk will also highlight how the Alzheimer's Association is accelerating research globally through both its funding and convening of researchers.
