Introduction
The U.S. population is aging. By 2040, 65 million Americans will be between the ages of 65-84, and 15 million will be over the age of 85. It is expected that by 2035, those above the age of 65 will outnumber those below 18 years of age. Memory issues are directly related to aging, so it is imperative to understand some basic warning signs of memory loss. Familiarity with the screening tools for memory loss will lead to better early intervention and coordinated care with health providers.
Join the SWEET Institute and Steve Koh, expert in memory and the aging population, and learn how to help your patients and clients by:
-
Learning about the warning signs of memory issues.
- Learning about basic screening tools to evaluate for complaints of memory loss.
- Learning the importance of working with patients and family members in the context of memory loss.
