More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.


Researchers continue to search for ways to prevent and treat it. And last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.


MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about the latest research and how to support people who live with dementia and their caregivers.


Guests:


  • Dr. Dongming Cai is a professor of neurology and director of the Center for Memory Research and Care at the University of Minnesota.
  • Jenna Fink is the associate director for community services at the Minnesota — North Dakota Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.


The Alzheimer’s Association’s 24/7 Helpline is 800-272-3900.


The association’s Minnesota-North Dakota chapter also provides local, no-cost education classes and support groups for people with dementia and their caregivers.


Dementia Friends Minnesota offers sessions to help people understand dementia and find out how to make communities dementia friendly.
