CHAT: Ask your questions to the dementia researcher

4/5/2023, 5:39:56 PM

Dementia usually affects the elderly over the age of 80 – but some are affected early in life. The disease often tightens its grip on both the person who falls ill and relatives. Is dementia preventable? How should you think as a relative? Ask your questions about dementia to researcher Gösta Bucht between 20-22.


In the series "When I no longer remember you", Uppdrag granskning has for a long time closely followed five people who all suffered early in life, before they turned 65, from dementia. They show how the disease affects the everyday lives of those affected and their relatives.

Also participating in the series is Gösta Bucht, who has researched demen diseases. He is professor emeritus of geriatrics with a special focus on cognitive diseases at Umeå University. Gösta Bucht led the work to develop the first national guidelines for dementia and is co-founder and has been chairman of the International Psychogeriatric Association, which largely works with dementia. Ask him your question in the chat.
