Maree McCabe calling time on leading Dementia Australia after 13 years -  https://www.dementia.org.au/media-centre/media-releases/dementia-australia-announces-new-ceo Key Takeaways: Dementia is a progressive brain disease impacting memory, thinking, and behavior, necessitating early diagnosis and intervention for better outcomes. Maree McCabe emphasises the significance of engaging in social activities and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of dementia. Dementia Australia provides comprehensive support, including counseling, educational programs for caregivers, and peer groups for individuals diagnosed with dementia. The use of music and social engagement plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for people with dementia. Advances in research, such as blood tests for Alzheimer's biomarkers, are paving the way for less invasive and more accurate diagnostic techniques.
