In our study, we were looking at how we can face this major problem, which is coming in the next 10 to 15 years to our societies. No matter if you are in Germany, in France or in other countries like Moldova or Malta or so, we face a large problem with older people, especially with people with dementia.

In our study, we were looking at how we can face this major problem, which is coming in the next 10 to 15 years to our societies. No matter if you are in Germany, in France or in other countries like Moldova or Malta or so, we face a large problem with older people, especially with people with dementia. And I think we have to think about two major problems. The first is that we have about 10% to 15% of the dementia patients who are below 55. Yes, so we have to take care of them because we have to care for them in another way than if someone is 75 years of age. So I will focus on the people with over 75 years. And I think we have to deal with a large amount of informal care because the families and friends take a large burden of this care. And so we have to think about how we can change it so that the people get the most good care and good treatment. And on the other hand, to see how we can keep it affordable for the healthcare systems. Yes. And this is a major discussion already in the world. Yes. And there are statements on this from the WHO, and also from the EAN on brain health. How can we deal with that? I think we have not solved this issue yet, but I hope that with the efforts that are being done by the different communities, we will have a solution soon. Because, for example, I’m also a baby boomer. So I would be very interested that you find a solution for this problem before I get into the age of 75 or 80s, and 30% get dementia. So maybe I’m getting dementia too. So I would be very happy to have good care for me and all the people who get dementia.
