Description:"Administration on Aging to convene a multidisciplinary Steering Committee and an even wider array of invited experts from concerned public and private sector organizations. Together we examined the current state of knowledge regarding the promotion and protection of cognitive health, identified important knowledge gaps, and defined the unique role and contributions of public health. We focused on vascular risk factors and physical activity because of their association with cognitive outcomes, adopted a strategic framework, and embarked on an intensive process to generate the actions offered in this National Public Health Road Map to Maintaining Cognitive Health. The Road Map recognizes current social trends and other factors that affect cognitive health from a public health standpoint: an aging population, growing fear and concern expressed by many people as they age about their potential loss of cognitive function, increasing societal burden from cognitive decline, greater caregiver burden, and a continued lack of awareness about cognitive health among consumers and providers alike." - p. 1
