An elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, AAAS, and ASCI, his work has shaped our understanding of the epidemiology and costs of chronic disease in older adults, particularly Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. He has published more than 375 peer-reviewed articles and continues to lead major studies examining dementia prevalence, cardiovascular and acute illness impacts on cognition, and cross-national dementia outcomes.
