The Veterans PREVAIL research team is focused on improving health outcomes for our military veterans. 

Veterans face a unique set of exposures in addition to normal health risk factors and comorbidities that can lead to elevated risks for developing chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Our work in the Veterans PREVAIL lab seeks to identify modifiable risk factors for intervention with the ultimate goal of reducing chronic disease risk related to heart and brain health.
