Hello! Our fall issue contains a wide range of geriatrics research ranging from improving dental health in older adults,(1) to an examination of the association of cognitive test scores and level of function in older adults.(2) Other papers examine the risk factors for developing dementia in older indigenous persons,(3) and provide an overview of outcomes and results of a pre-conference workshop held prior to the Scientific Meeting of the Canadian Association on Gerontology.(4)
Finally we are pleased to present the abstracts presented at the 35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Canadian Geriatrics Society, which was in Montreal this year.(5)
Thanks again for your interest!
