Each person may describe “aging well” in different terms. The Aging Well Arizona initiative focuses on the aspect of overall brain health. Reports offering data on various topics related to aging well are offered through our Data Dashboard.
Brain Health
Brain Health encompasses Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, Stroke, and other circulatory diseases, as well as mental health and substance use. All these conditions can affect a person’s thinking, relationships with family and friends, and ability to have meaning and purpose in life, ultimately affecting their autonomy and ability to live independently. In this section, we provide some of the available statistics on selected indicators of brain health in our community.
