What happens when a major review reaches a different conclusion than many clinicians and researchers in the field?
A recent Cochrane review found that amyloid-targeting treatments for Alzheimer's disease produce little cognitive benefit while increasing the risk of adverse effects. The publication has prompted discussion about how evidence should be evaluated and communicated.
In a new episode of the Dementia Matters podcast by the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Penn Memory Center co-director Dr. David Wolk joins Dr. Cynthia Carlsson and Dr. Henrik Zetterberg to unpack the review and discuss what it means for patients, clinical care, research, and public policy.

What does it take to age independently?
On a new episode of The Age of Aging, we explore one part of aging that often gets overlooked: the planning required to maintain independence over time.
Bode Hennegan, founder of Life Managers and Associates, shares common pitfalls she sees older adults face when planning for later life. Legal documents alone are not enough. Aging independently also means thinking about who will help manage care, finances, daily logistics, and decision-making if needs change.
The episode looks at practical questions many families avoid until a crisis. Who will pay the bills? Who will coordinate care? Is the home equipped for aging? Are the right supports in place?
