Based on data from an ongoing multi-site ethnography, the aim of this conference is to analyze the recent epistemological changes towards prevention in dementia research. We will show how this international discourse is embedded in both specialized and non-specialized Brazilian sites of care.
Based on data from an ongoing multi-site ethnography, as well as media output analysis in Brazil, the aim of this conference is twofold: the first is a short overview of the recent epistemological changes towards prevention in dementia research and public health recommendations. The second part will show how this international discourse is embedded in different Brazilian sites. Both specialized and non-specialized practices targeting aging individuals will be analysed. Special attention will be paid to the taking of medications versus lifestyle activities in order to prevent dementia, and how these two kinds of practices are entangled, depending on how prevention is being framed.
