Early life disadvantages have been associated with a higher risk of dementia, but the risk may be modified by early life and midlife exposures. While attention is often given to individuals' behavior and choices, structural and institutional forces may be more effective in addressing risk factors. The Committee on Population held a two-day public workshop on August 29-30, 2024 that examined what measures, data infrastructure needs, and analytic measures can advance understanding of how midlife social exposures can address early life risk factors. Participants discussed the state of knowledge and identified conceptual approaches to guide research on better understanding midlife exposures that may be modifiable in reducing the risk of later-life dementia. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion from the workshop.
