At #AAIC26 last week, we announced PROTECT-Cog to evaluate whether combining lifestyle intervention with a metabolism-targeting drug like a GLP-1 agonist can further reduce dementia risk. That’s a $100 million commitment – in science, progress, and people.
📰 Today the Association announced the launch of the PROTECT-Cog Study to test U.S. POINTER lifestyle and GLP-1 or similar drug to cut risk of cognitive decline. Learn More: bit.ly/4pekZiJ
