When it comes to aging, our minds and our money are two areas of big concern for most of us. Cognitive changes that occur as we get older put some adults at risk for poor financial decisions or even fraud. Thankfully, new research is pointing toward empowering solutions by providing a better understanding of what happens in our brains as we process money matters.

Next up in AFAR and Prevention's next Live Better Longer webinar series, aging expert Duke Han, PhD, will join Kaitlyn Phoenix, Deputy Editor, Hearst Health Newsroom, to discuss the intersection of cognitive and financial health.

Han’s research is driven by a multidisciplinary approach and a compassionate mission: He is unearthing new insights into what happens in older adults’ brains as they are making financial decisions. With an improved understanding of changes in our cognitive processing, older adults and their caregivers can better prepare personal finances and prevent potential scams.

This conversational-style webinar will discuss the latest research on how cognitive changes affect financial judgment and the practical steps you can take to mitigate risks.
