About
Patrizia Mecocci is a leading figure in geriatric medicine and dementia research, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of aging, oxidative stress, and cognitive decline. Her key research areas span the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease, the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage in neurodegeneration, and the development of multidomain lifestyle interventions for brain health. Mecocci’s major contributions include pioneering studies demonstrating that oxidative damage is an early event in Alzheimer’s pathology, and she has been instrumental in translating these findings into clinical practice. She is a core member of the landmark FINGER trial consortium, which showed that a multidomain lifestyle intervention can improve or maintain cognitive function in at-risk older adults. Her highly cited work, including the recent LETHE feasibility trial (23 citations), continues to advance digital, multimodal prevention strategies. With over 400 publications and an h-index exceeding 80, Mecocci’s research has garnered thousands of citations, cementing her influence. She has also served as President of the European Association of Geriatric Medicine, reflecting her leadership in the field.
