MetLife has been a leading advocate for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research for more than 20 years, largely through the work of MetLife Foundation (MLF). The Foundation’s annual awards for medical research support leading-edge research on AD. MLF has also been a strong voice in fostering a greater understanding of the disease through grants to nonprofits that educate the public about AD. For example, the Foundation sponsored the Emmy-award winning PBS documentary, The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer’s.

The MetLife Mature Market Institute (MMI), the company’s information and policy resource center on issues related to aging, long-term care, retirement, and the 50+ marketplace, has commissioned studies and polls, including publications on caregiving and maintaining brain health.
