Dementia prevention is often framed as a matter of individual lifestyle choice. This session steps back and asks what prevention looks like when we think at population level, not just personal risk.

This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly ‘Showcase’ series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session that brings researchers together to share work.

In this session, Simone Salemme will explore how dementia prevention can move beyond individual level interventions towards population based approaches rooted in equity, data, and public policy. Drawing on Italian and European initiatives, he will discuss how prevention can be embedded within national and EU non communicable disease strategies to support brain health across the life course.

Simone is a PhD Fellow and early career researcher at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Attendees can expect a clear overview of current evidence, policy links, and practical challenges, with time for questions and discussion.
