NARFE January 2026
A new year is the perfect opportunity to focus on your brain health. Research confirms that healthy habits can help lower your risk of cognitive decline and even dementia. And with advances in treatment and a growing understanding of how to protect your brain, the landscape of Alzheimer's is changing and fueling real hope. Thanks to the generosity of NARFE members, the Alzheimer's Association provides tools and information to help you take charge of your brain health. Try our free Brain Health Habit Builder to check your habits — like physical activity, diet and sleep — and create a plan to protect your brain. You can also explore our 10 Healthy Habits for Your Brain for tips that benefit both your brain and body. We appreciate all NARFE members for making resources like these possible and for sharing our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Scientists cautioned that the test is still years away from clinical use, but it could help fuel research efforts into the disease. The Alzheimer's Association clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for when and how blood tests can be responsibly integrated into specialty care. Learn more.
