Description
Otelo Corrêa dos Santos Filho, Glaucia Dunley, and Lucia França lay out a 2025 plan for memory workshops in Rio de Janeiro. The workshops join group life-story work with early testing for Alzheimer's disease. Blood tests can now flag the disease early, and about a third of dementia cases tie to risks people can change. The team wants one program that treats, warns, and screens at the same time.
Older adults meet to share and write their life stories, guided by trained staff. Talks also cover loss, aging, and fear of illness in a group setting. Those with memory complaints are offered blood tests and follow-up on their risk factors. The plan, run with a state university aging center, began in February 2024.
