Dr. Takashi Asada spoke about specific and easy-to-understand stories about preventing the worsening of dementia, including initiatives at your own clinic, which is easy to incorporate in daily life.
　Momoko Eguchi, the navigator, brought out the wonderful stories of the two, and at the end, Manabu Yamamoto performed a poem reading, and the 90 minutes ended in no time.
　From the participants, positive comments such as "I was able to see dementia positively and understand that it was not despair," "I was impressed by the words that I could live today," and "I would like to practice Dr. Asada's prevention story." I received many impressions. I would like to thank you as the organizer.
