Understanding the convergence and divergence of Alzheimer’s disease can be challenging, so we talked to Dr. Crystal M. Glover, an applied social psychologist and mixed methodologist, to untangle this complicated topic. We learn how it affects different communities in different ways, and what that reveals about the broader landscape of health and aging. 

We dive deep into the individual determinants of health—from genetics and environment to socioeconomic status—and how these factors influence the aging process. Dr. Glover shares invaluable guidance on what all people can do to facilitate healthy aging, with an emphasis on equity, inclusion, and cultural understanding. Listeners will also learn about the most impactful social, physical, and cognitive activities that promote brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
