The Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) announces the launch of Dementias Platform Australia (DPAU), with a vision of accelerating discoveries in the understanding and diagnosis of dementia.
With dementia impacting 55 million people globally, this initiative from UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) will promote the importance of modifiable lifestyle factors.
UNSW has been awarded NHMRC funding to establish three new research centres for vascular dementia, the mitigation of airborne threats, and research into the impact of food systems on our health and environment.
An 80% adult vaccination rate corresponds to 64% of the overall population, leaving plenty of people susceptible to the virus if restrictions ease too quickly.
Most kids will be unvaccinated if schools in the two largest states re-open in term 4. There may still be community transmission, but there are measures we can take to shield kids from the virus.
