    How Inequities Impact Our Ability to Age Well | Episode 7
    Aug 29 2024

    Have you ever listened to all the advice about healthy ageing and thought, it’s all very well to have a diet rich in oily fish and fresh veggies and do all that exercise, but some of us are too busy working or don’t have easy access to affordable fresh foods? Or maybe you live in an area where there are fewer health services and limited options for social activity.    


    In this episode, we hear from Professor Rebecca Ivers AM as we talk about some of the challenges and inequities that impact our ability to age well that can be beyond our personal control.

    If you listened to the first episode of this podcast, you will already be familiar with Scientia Professor Kaarin Anstey - who introduced us to this whole big topic of ageing.


    In this episode we narrow down and focus on a subject on which Professor Anstey is extremely eminent and that is dementia. In fact, she’s the first Australian academic to be appointed to the World Dementia Council. Kaarin will provide insights into dementia as we age - and help us find answer to the big question is dementia an inevitable part of ageing?
