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.

AstraZeneca announced their commitment to help these groups return to their normal lives through their previously launched campaign. The existing COVID vaccines and preventing measures might not be enough to protect those at risk from contracting COVID-19. Additionally, 92% of the sample group revealed in the survey that they would like to gain more knowledge about other alternatives to prevent them from contracting the virus. This reiterates the importance of creating awareness regarding COVID-19 and preventative measures as it will increase knowledge for the people at risk and encourage them to seek doctors’ advice. AstraZeneca saw the importance in building a better understanding for those at risk, so that they can better protect themselves from COVID-19, aligning with their existing awareness campaign. Prioritising higher-risk individuals and those with immunodeficiency is essential to reduce severe illness and fatalities, so that they will be able to resume their normal life.
