Alzheimer’s disease is a serious condition that has affected many of us. Did you know Black Americans are at twice the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease? But there has not been enough research to find out why. We need your help!

We're live with Dr. Brendan Lucey talking about a new study on sleep apnea. He's taking your questions, too. Do you have trouble sleeping, or questions about sleep? Send your questions here, or call us at 314-382-8255! news.stlpublicradio.org/show/st-louis-…

New study from @gmbreads and team finds that older adults with sleep apnea are at a higher risk of adverse driving behaviors like hard breaking and speeding news.stlpublicradio.org/show/st-louis-…

The dangers of sleep apnea: For every eight additional breathing interruptions per hour, the odds of making a dangerous driving move such as speeding, braking hard or accelerating suddenly increase by 27%, according to a new #WashUMed study. medicine.wustl.edu/news/risky-dri…

Thrilled to have our work on #poverty as a major risk factor for #dementia in 🇿🇦 published in @JAMANetworkOpen. Poverty is multidimensional & contributes to a 2.31x risk of dementia. Next step: collect follow-up data. @WashUNeurology @BrownSchool @go2uj @ISTAART #DiversityPIA

In this cross-sectional study, multidimensional poverty was associated with higher prevalence of #dementia among older adults in South Africa. Low education, poor health, and unemployment had the strongest associations with poverty. ja.ma/3NflTYW

Congratulations, again, @gmbreads ! Exciting things are coming for the lab and I am so grateful to be a part of it 🎉#YayScience
