Moving Towards Bright Futures: Maintaining Cognitive Health
The goal of this workshop is to provide attendees with up-to-date information about the relationship between protective and modifiable lifestyle factors and brain and cognitive health throughout the lifespan. This event is approved for ACCME, ACPE, ANCC, ASWB and CE - View full accreditation information in event overview.
Brain health science has exploded in the last 15 years; however, many practitioners only have a general sense of related findings and clinical applications. All neuropsychologists and allied professionals, regardless of setting or clinical populations with whom they work, can benefit from updated knowledge related to the importance of protective and modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, sleep, nutrition, intellectual activity, social engagement, stress management) on brain and cognitive health. This knowledge, in turn, can help clarify effective, evidence-based, brain-health recommendations for use in clinical practice from both a preventative and treatment perspective. This 4-hour virtual workshop is designed to inform the audience of recent advancements in brain health, with a focus on protective and modifiable lifestyle factors that promote well-being throughout the lifespan. Strategies for discussing brain and cognitive health recommendations with patients will also be emphasized.
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
1.
Describe the role of health behaviors on youth neurocognitive development.
2.
List the modifiable factors (i.e., person-specific and/or secondary factors) that have the greatest impact on brain health throughout the lifespan.
3.
Describe the ways in which women and men are differentially impacted by some risk and protective factors in aging.
4.
Develop and design strategies for educating patients about brain health.
Target Audience:
Health care providers are the primary audience, including neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, social workers, other allied health professionals, physicians (including both pediatricians and geriatricians), nurses, and others with an interest in brain health and well-being.
Instructional Level:
Intermediate

Description
Health Behaviors and Brain Development
A growing literature describes the effects of health behaviors—physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and recreational screen time—on youth neurocognitive development and mental health. This talk will highlight findings from recent observational studies, experimental studies, and meta-analyses on relationships between health behaviors, brain structure, brain function, cognition, and academic performance in youth. Evidence for neurobiological and psychosocial mediators and moderators will also be considered. We will consider how adults working with childr en and teens (e.g., parents, clinicians, teachers, after-school staff) can utilize health behaviors as a tool in their practice. Lastly, we will review the aims and methods of a novel physical activity intervention focused on at-risk adolescents in underserved and vulnerable communities called “Leaders @ Play”.

The Role of Person-specific and Secondary Factors in Illness
It is well appreciated that person-specific factors (e.g., self-efficacy, personality) and secondary factors (e.g., depression, sleep) can greatly influence the course of one's illness and cognitive health. Fortunately, assessment of these factors is simple enough in clinical care and they are amenable to treatment. In this course, we will explore the role of person-specific factors on health and coping and discuss avenues for assessment and intervention. We will also examine the role of secondary factors, their assessment and influence on health and cognition, and ways to assist individuals in managing such in order to maintain cognitive health and well-being.

The Importance of Staying Physically, Cognitively, Social
Being physically, cognitively, and socially active are essential in maintaining one's cognitive health. These activities are also often part of our clinical recommendations. But what is the evidence base behind these recommendations? This course will provide an overview of the literature on the impact of physical activity, diet, cognitive stimulation, and social connectedness on cognitive health and well-being. Strategies in discussing these recommendations with patients will also be presented.

Healthy Brain Aging: Prevention of Dementia?
*Presentation will not be available OnDemand post event* Healthy Brain Aging: Can Early Detection of Modifiable Risk and Protection Factors Lead to Precision Promotion of Resilience and Prevention of Dementia? - Given the heterogeneity of individualized trajectories of cognitive aging and the diversity of clinical outcomes, new data-driven approaches are being harnessed to shed light on an enduring conundrum of brain and cognitive aging. In this talk, we will review recent results of selected studies that integrate big data and dynamic analytics with imperatives of precision clinical health interpretations and opportunities. Examples include studies of (a) trajectory distributions over a 40-year band of aging leading to identification of secondary clinical phenotypes predicted by different risk and protective factors, (b) trajectory distributions stratified by Alzheimer's adversities (e.g., genetic risk) leading to predictors of cognitive resilience varying for women and men, and (c) small networks of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that offer differing protection for women and men. In sum, new approaches aim to integrate dynamic and complex data with precision solutions indicating potential targets for early risk assessment, prevention protocols, and promotion of healthier cognitive aging.
