d. Chennai

ANSWER: New Delhi
 
  • AIIMS Cohort Study Centre has been launched in New Delhi.
  • The AIIMS Cohort Study is unique and probably one of its kind combining conventional and novel risk factors, genomics and neuroimaging to determine protective and risk factors for stroke and cognitive decline.
  • Unique also in a way that AIIMS is going to people, rather than people coming to AIIMS.
  • By creating awareness about healthy aging and making assessment of their general and brain health, the study provides an opportunity for people to prevent disease and promote their health.
  • By carrying out repeated general and brain health assessment through MRI and memory testing and genetic testing, the study will throw light on novel protective and predictive factors.
  • The knowledge and understanding thus gained will help the people to prevent stroke and cognitive decline.
