On April 06, 2023, at 18:00, within the framework of the XXIV Yasin (April) International Scientific Conference on the Problems of Economic and Social Development, a lecture by honorary speaker Jubin Abutalebi Preventing Dementia Through Bilingualism will be held.

As the average age of the global population increases, dementia is becoming a heightened burden in both societal and financial terms around the world. Dementia was estimated to lead to annual costs of almost a trillion USD in 2016. As there is currently no pharmacological cure for dementia, special interest has been devoted to understanding the factors that can help delay the onset of aging symptoms and promote the longevity of healthy life and cognition. Tackling dementia via preventive or treatment measures has thus been defined as a top societal and scientific objective.

The honorable talk is organized in the framework of a research grant funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (grant ID: 075-15-2022-325)
