Veterans carry a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease than the general population. Dr. Cynthia Carlsson, a geriatrician at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital and an Alzheimer's disease researcher, is PI on the BRAVE study, which aims to determine whether a prescription-strength dose of fish oil can stop or delay Alzheimer's disease-related brain changes in veterans.
