The team consists of public health researchers, specialized in epidemiology and sociology, and clinicians specialized in geriatric medicine, neurology and nutrition. The strong involvement of the clinicians has enabled us to conduct ambitious studies in clinical research, both at the national and international level. Our work is based on the implementation and follow-up of cohorts of patients with Alzheimer's disease and has progressively become oriented towards a more interventional approach with the implementation of original intervention programmes. The methodological originality of our studies is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative approach.
Expected health effects
The demonstration of the protective effects of certain factors on cognitive decline will enable, in time, the development of prevention programmes aiming to delay the onset of incapacitating pathologies. For the management of dependency, the demonstration of the benefit of certain types of innovative support could enable them to be rolled out on a larger scale.
