UNSW Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA)’s Post

🏆 We’re proud to share that CHeBA’s Minal Tanvir has been awarded Best Poster at the UNSW Ageing Futures Institute Research Symposium. Minal’s work tackled a critical question in #dementia diagnosis: when it comes to daily activities, should we rely on what people say or what they actually do? Minal’s systematic review of 134 studies show that performance-based assessments (directly observing daily tasks such as managing finances, medications, and shopping) provide a far more accurate and diagnostically relevant picture than self- or informant reports. In short: when diagnosing dementia, what people do matters more than what they say. Congratulations again, Minal, on this well-deserved recognition 👏 #dementia #healthyageing #CHeBA
