Epi Seminar Series - Dr. Roch Nianogo - Contributions of Cardiovascular Risk Factors to Dementia Risk by Sex and Race/ethnicity: A Population Attributable Fraction Approach.

We are delighted to be hosting Dr. Roch Nianogo, Associate Professor of Epidemiology in the Fielding School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), as part of the Department of Epidemiology Seminar series. Roch’s work involves the development and application of causal inference and quasi-experimental methods as well as simulation modeling with a focus on reducing cardiovascular disease burden and dementia. In recent work, Roch’s research has focused on estimating the population attributable fraction of dementia associated with potentially modifiable risk factors.
