Pamela Almeida-Meza

Pamela Almeida-Meza is a Researcher at King's College London's Department of Psychological Medicine within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. She holds a PhD in Epidemiology from University College London (UCL), an MSc in Health Psychology from UCL, and a BSc in Clinical Psychology from Universidad San Francisco de Quito.

Her research focuses on cognitive ageing and dementia, particularly exploring cognitive reserve mechanisms, caregiving dynamics in older populations, and health inequalities. She employs longitudinal methodologies to investigate life-course determinants of neurological outcomes using large-scale population datasets like the 1946 British Birth Cohort and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

Key publication themes include the protective roles of intellectual/social activities against dementia risk and the moderating effects of early-life cognition on later-life cognitive decline. Her work bridges epidemiological analysis with clinical psychiatry, emphasizing public health interventions for aging populations.
