Texas is fighting to #ENDALZ at the ballot box 🗳️, and the Association is leading the charge to drive change. Earlier this year, the state legislature established the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT). Now it’s up to the voters to decide whether or not to fund it.

At the Alzheimer’s Association, we believe that engaging diverse perspectives is critical to achieving health equity. All communities should have a fair and just opportunity for early diagnosis and access to risk reduction and quality care. alz.org/healthequityreport #ENDALZ

📣Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health. The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S. #AAIC25 alz.org/USPOINTERresults

U.S. POINTER changes what we know about brain health. 🧠 This wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of the study participants, their families and the study site staff. THANK YOU. To help accelerate progress, volunteer to participate in Alzheimer's research at trailmatch.org.

Takeaways from U.S. POINTER top line results: ➡️ Both a structured & a self-guided intervention improved cognition, with the structured group improving even more. ➡️ Cognitive benefits were consistent across age, sex, ethnicity, heart health status and APOE e4 genotype. bit.ly/USPointerRel... #AAIC25
