In it’s 5th year, the Alzheimer’s Disease Task Force (ADTF) continues to support research and development relative to health and quality of life for those impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). This symposium will provide attendees with the annual overview of the ADTF’s retrospective productivity and ongoing projects. We plan to provide in-depth discussion of 3 projects, namely, 1) our ongoing systematic review Exercise interventions for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease, 2) our Acoustic Considerations for Dementia Care Communities initiative , and 3) an information education page (IEP) outlining the role of Vitamin D in brain health.

Learning Objectives:
