BP variability (BPV) is a newer aspect of BP control recently associated with cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), independent of traditionally targeted mean BP levels. Most of this work has relied on largely non-Hispanic White study samples in observational cohorts.

Dementia Dialogue is a podcast produced by the Alzheimer Society of Ontario that provides people with lived experience (people living with dementia and care partners) a way to share their stories with each other and the broader community.

Listeners who work with people living with dementia and care partners as well as community members at large, develop an understanding of what it means to live with dementia and how these individuals can be supported, thereby increasing awareness about the experience of dementia and decreasing stigma.
