Abstract
Drawing on findings from the Canadian Alliance for Healthier Hearts and Minds (CAHHM) and the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, this seminar will examine how global dietary patterns influence cognitive performance and brain structure across diverse populations. Dr. Anand will highlight evidence linking diet quality and cardiometabolic risk to cognition and neuroimaging markers of brain health in multi‑ethnic and international cohorts. The presentation will discuss implications for prevention strategies that connect nutrition, vascular health, and brain aging from a global perspective.
