Congratulations to Distinguished Professor Emeritus James Vickers receiving the Australian Dementia Network Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this month - a well-deserved recognition of his incredible contribution to dementia research.

Does where you live affect how you age?

Amongst other findings, they discovered that people living in rural towns and remote communities had notably higher levels of frailty than those living in regional centers.
