OverviewAI-generated summary

Ray Urbina's research focuses on interventions aimed at improving cognitive function and mitigating Alzheimer's disease risk in older adults. His work investigates the impact of multidomain health interventions, including health coaching and physical activity, on cognitive scores and Alzheimer's disease risk factors. Recent publications highlight the efficacy of 2-year digital and health coaching interventions in stabilizing or improving cognitive function among individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease, particularly in APOE e4 carriers. Urbina also explores the relationship between skeletal muscle health and cognitive scores in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease, and the predictive role of sedentary behavior on metabolic syndrome in this population. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Anthony Campitelli and Megan Jones, on these studies.
