Dr. Jane S. Saczynski, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division
of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. She is also
Assistant Professor in the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Division of
Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases and Vulnerable Populations. She is a neuroepidemiologist
with research interests in cardiovascular disease and the risk for cognitive decline and
dementia in middle aged and older adults. Within large-scale epidemiologic studies she
has looked at how cardiovascular diseases, such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, are related
to cognitive impairment, brain changes and dementia. Her current work is examining the
role of cognitive impairment in the performance of self-care activities in patients with
chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure.
