Exploring socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural effects on a person’s health can help us identify some of the contributing factors to what ails us. We investigate this topic further with medical anthropologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Dr. J. Neil Henderson, to learn more about connecting non-biological factors like stress to dementia and other diseases, as well as cultural perspective on aging and cognitive changes. We learn about health disparities in Native Americans, and how Dr. Henderson has helped create culturally relevant resources for family caregivers across the country.
