Dementia Prevention & Risk Reduction – CDRA Scientific Meeting

How do we turn what we know about dementia risk into prevention that works in the real world? The Chinese Dementia Research Association’s Annual Scientific Meeting brings clinicians, researchers and health professionals together in Hong Kong, and online, to explore dementia prevention and risk reduction.

The morning opens with a keynote from Professor Gill Livingston (University College London), who leads The Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention and Care, on bridging evidence and real-world practice in dementia prevention, care and risk reduction. Dr Allen Ting-chun Lee (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) follows with a keynote on moving from dementia risk factors to preventive interventions, drawing on evidence from Hong Kong.

After the AGM and a tea break, Professor Wai-chi Chan (The University of Hong Kong) gives a sponsored symposium. The meeting closes with the Tse Cheuk Ng Tai Prize in Dementia Research session, including a reflection from 2025 prize winner Ms Hui Jiang, a PhD candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a presentation by the 2026 prize winner. Onsite delegates are invited to stay for lunch.
