Lifestyle factors in the health and wellbeing of individuals with neurodegenerative diseases
A growing body of evidence suggests that associations between lifestyle factors including exercise, diet, sleep, healthy life habits, and stress management are crucial in understanding the development, progression, and management of many neurodegenerative diseases (ND) including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. To effectively promote resilience and management against of symptomatology progression related to ND, research should examine the interaction between disease development, progression, and personal lifestyle.
We invite your submissions for a special supplement to the Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation that will bring together international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the topic of lifestyle behaviors and models of lifestyle-dependent risk and resilience in people with ND. The deadline for submissions is 1 November 2021. Read More >>
