Dementia can be predicted 5-10 years in advance. < Back Dementia Prediction Programme by Samitivej Hospital 30 Jun 2023 HIGHLIGHTS Early-onset dementia tends to affect those of working age. Its causes are generally related to stress or depression associated with a person’s career. This can mean that the condition is often neglected, resulting in patients being unaware of the danger they are in. Symptoms of early onset dementia may not be solely presented through forgetfulness, as stress, depression and withdrawal from social and familial circles may also occur. Dementia refers to the degeneration in various forms of brain function, for which the symptoms come and go, resulting in dysfunction of thought, memory, reasoning, and communication capabilities, as well as personality changes or irregularities. In some cases, patients may experience mood swings, stress, and depression or refuse to comply and withdraw from society altogether. Dementia usually affects those over the age of 65. However, it can affect people between the ages of 30-65, too. Early-onset dementia is now found in up to 6.9% of all dementia cases, with most of that number being made up of working-age patients who may have overlooked the condition as merely being a part of the stress or depression that results from their careers. Nevertheless, in overlooking the condition and mistaking it for a benign illness, the patients are actually ignoring something with the potential to become extremely dangerous. The latest research focuses on certain proteins being associated with dementia. A simple blood test can evaluate the presence of these proteins and help establish a risk score for developing early-onset of dementia.

To keep you updated with Thailand's economy, a summary of the World Bank's Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor, May 2023 has been prepared for you. < Back World Bank: Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor 31 May 2023 World Bank: Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor summary The economy is moderately expanding as consumption grows with support from the recovering tourism and labour market. In contrast, manufacturing production and exported goods were in decline due to the decline in external demand. Tourism has picked up from the previous months with a higher number of Chinese visitors and tour groups. There is also an increase in visitors from India, ASEAN, and Europe. Exported goods in March 2023 had the lowest rate compared to the other months of the year, but Thailand is still performing reasonably well compared to the neighbouring countries in Asia. Inflation rate decreases due to wide-range price reductions with lower core and raw food inflation. On the other hand, the energy price inflation increases. As a result of the decline in global oil prices, the government imposes caps on energy prices to alleviate inflation. Fiscal deficit decreases but as the government introduces the cost-of-living support measure, the deficit will remain high. Measures such as electricity price caps would require government subsidies from the central budget. The government also impose a tax cut on diesel to help with the increasing oil price. The government suggested four measures for tax reform: 1) reviewing tax structure; 2) adjusting the system with digital economy; 3) tax reduction for the environmentally friendly activities, and 4) fairer tax approach. These goals will accelerate fiscal consolidation under the medium-term budgetary plan. Thai Baht appreciates in line with the Nominal Effective Exchange Rate as a result of the rise in account surplus. The causes of the surplus were reduction in oil imports and an increase in tourism in the past months.
