Canadian Platform for Research Online to Investigate Health, Quality of Life, Cognition, Behaviour, Function, and Caregiving in Aging
Summary
CAN-PROTECT is an online study for people 18 and older that will look at things that contribute to healthy aging, as well as risk factors that contribute to a decline in memory, thinking, and dementia. We will also look at the contributors to health and stress in those who care for the people with dementia.
Data will be collected online at www.canprotect.ca.
The data that is collected will help the researchers to better understand the aging brain with a focus on the caregivers. It will also tell the burden on caregivers, and the factors that help and worsen this burden.
