Epidemiologists want to invite neighbors into national study and look for data from underrepresented communities
TUCSON, Ariz. — On the University of Arizona campus in Midtown, a team of public health researchers wants to meet neighbors who can help the scientists discover the best ways to keep people vital and happy as we age.
Chen's work as an investigator is helping PAN create a way to precisely predict a patient's brain health risks. Based off that research, Chen said PAN can assist doctors in crafting a personalized plan, so people can keep their cognitive abilities sharp in older age. Chen said as much as genetics play a role in a person's brain health, scientists also recognize that public policy can significantly affect support systems in our community, and to a greater degree, historically marginalized groups of people; and Chen added brain health and aging is not just a concern for older men and women.
Dr. Tomas Nuño is an epidemiologist and assistant professor at UA who's helping PAN in their research. Nuño is heavily involved in recruiting students to healthcare careers that cater to aging populations.
