Victoria is a clinical researcher working in Translational Health Sciences in the University of Bristol. She currently works in sleep and Alzheimer’s disease research, focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who experience cognitive decline but are still able to do their everyday activities. Recent projects have included developing a core outcome set for MCI and using different technologies to measure sleep in the home. Victoria is currently working towards her PhD by published work.
Two large cohorts (one UK, one Chinese) found shifting from optimal to non-optimal sleep or stopping napping linked to higher dementia risk. But reverse causation limits certainty about prevention.
