or reduce the risk of developing dementia and improve caps. so get to have a welcome andre teller. what do you think of what you day? yes, andrew birdson, i'm the chief of cognitive behavioral neurology at the veterans affairs, boston health care system. i'm also a professor of neurology at the boston university school of medicine. and i've been doing research and caring for people with alzheimer's disease and related dementia for the last 25 years to have and kara, welcome to the spring, please introduce yourself. thanks so much for me. i'm car in brockovich. i found it an organization called to major south africa, and i had a mom who was diagnosed at the age of 62 and passed away at 83. so she just with the major 4 alzheimer's disease for 21 years. and i sent him

a social aetna her yet, or in, or making image her a healthcare priority in south africa. so you, you know who i am, but you probably don't know that i have a very close family relative who is currently living with outsiders and vascular dementia. i have so many questions for our expert panelist. i'm sure you have to, one of the most difficult things is just to talk about it. if you want to talk about it, you want to share your experiences. you've got questions to ask. this is the 30 minutes to do it in you to call it section is right here for you to jump into our guests as well. let me just show you this graph. i did mention the rise in people living with dimensions. i pick the 3 countries that you are based in united states by 2050 a 100 percent more people living with dementia in india by the same time period, i didn't 97 percent more people living with dementia said after 181 percent more

people living with dementia, we're gonna have to get so much better at dealing with dementia. it's gonna be every day life is this savannah? i am just thinking this has got to be we are living longer. the chances of you having a cognitive disease into your eighty's gets more and more likely is this basically what is happening? absolutely. send me the numbers that you had shown. those are so alarming when i was a student make training and urology, it was so unusual to find a person living but dementia and in the seventy's, the life expectancy for indians for 15. now the chances of living up to 70 or so high, the as rapidly aging. and as you know, if you say most of this class for dementia, so every day in the clinic we have so many people coming trying to seek help for

people living with dementia. and neighbors, family members it's, it's really a problem that there's affecting everybody across class, the site, the region, gender. yes, thanks so much andrew. the whole team has been working on the show. and now understanding the risk factors of dementia and i life's always going to change immediately. but can you mention some of those risk factors because there are areas that you mentioned that we can be prepared for? we don't, it doesn't just have to happen to us. does that it absolutely, the world health organization has estimated that perhaps as much as 40 percent of dementia can be prevented if people implement lifestyle changes, such as exercising regularly and particularly aerobic exercise, at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and eating

a healthy diet, this is usually described as the mediterranean menu of foods, but i think many regions around the world have similar types of diets that include fish, olive oil of a car, those fruits and vegetables, nuts and beans, whole grains, and poultry. but i'm sure why, why would that help your brain stay healthy? well, there is a very good question that i am not sure. what do you know? what is it you have those foods? but i will say, i think that those are foods that help people to stay healthy is good for the other organs in the body, including the heart. and those are foods that also help us to maintain a healthy body weight. i know, at least in our country in the united states,

there is an epidemic of obesity. but if you eat those foods i just mentioned, you're going to be less likely to become overweight. how you often in situations where you are working with people with dementia, you have a lot of experience as case stories. what happens the 1st moment when you realize that either you or relative or love one or friend is showing symptoms of cognitive impairment? how? how do you know that, what would you look for so see me, that's a very good question. and you know, that's usually the question which is, which is overlooked by, by family members. because they usually say when they do see behavioral change, cognitive changes in their loved ones. they usually always trying to protect her, particularly if it's a spouse. and it usually is that they and you know,

trying to avoid that question. and, you know, don't way to look for what it really is in terms of diagnosis or in the basement. and one must put into effect and in a memory problem at any age is not normal. and if you know it could be something that is a reversible disease, which i'm sure and true or savant, it could definitely elaborate on so and that sure one common cause of memory loss. this reversible are vitamin deficiencies in vitamin b. 12 is $15.00 them and that we now know can cause the dementia. if people don't take enough of it. so it's one of the tests that we are we screen for another very common test that we screen for arthur thyroid disorders. those can

also cause a syndrome that looks just like dementia. so absolutely, there's reversible causes that your doctor can screen for savannah. you very kindly shed a clinic with us, which was really of a family member noticing that they've been changes in a family member. and he didn't realize that it was dimension, he was kind of learning that situation and then what to do about it. so this was a video that was really an educational and awareness for me. i come from india, i want to share it with you. then savannah, can you come off the back of it? because those early days are very difficult as have a look. i didn't do anything about dementia, but in mid she was being really comfortable with me. so i said, well, she was moving her either that would be like word to both room. you being no

program has made me much more traditional. i don't know how to do your deck. veronica has made this is such a common situation that we see even today in the clinic. i would see people coming coming back to me, but the same story that they really didn't understand. sometimes they did not know right. it was behaving this way. why? but they're not able to recognize their closer family members by, but they're not able to address them. says feed them sounds like a nice common object. and i think the lack of badness that this is a brain disorder was something that was still called me. and then we started off about 2030 years ago, but even now we really don't know that these are common symptoms of dementia. there's an element of stigma. so there's

a tendency to kind of deny that it could be fees and you know, they just will be put in to be put into the state of helplessness. and when they talk to others about it, there is no hope coming. so the person living with dementia and they can kind of good isolated and with the symptoms, they face the consequences all by themselves. and this is such a common problem causing lot of damage. that in fact, it can actually be held if they just came to us early. you could just educate the kinda, help the person living with dementia. and so much of these of the drama without actually been prevented. i do think we need to work to de stigmatize the disease. i saw a patient in clinic yesterday who told me he was so embarrassed about his memory troubles. and i sometimes hear this from families and we need to make society around the world understand that it's

a medical problem. there's nothing to be embarrassed that nobody's embarrass if they have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you shouldn't be embarrassed. you have memory loss. you should do something about it and try to improve things. go ahead. yeah. i agree with you. they enter in and as soon as i think that one of the, one of the biggest challenges is fear because really they, you know, the fear is, is really, is they, you know, what will become, what will not be if i can take care of myself. how will my family cope it? so there's a number of those things. in south africa, we have a very particular type of, of challenge, and that is the stigma around the cultural issues. so, you know, amongst many of our indigenous population, it's regarded as the person being possessed by the end or the day of bewitched. and

particularly the women are the ones that are targeted. most likely. i want to just again, not i just want to pick up on the idea of fear because something that i've seen him in my family is that if you are having issues with remembering there are things are then happening in the house. you don't remember them. so somebody is coming in and doing them. somebody is coming in a moving that how somebody is coming in. i'm making a flaw away because you have no memory of that happening. so the fear of being the person who has dementia and you're surrounded by these awful things that are happening to you. that is also really, really scary. we spoke earlier to write a cold, still steve silverman, and he reminded me that there are, there's a way to look at dementia where you think about what it is possible to do rather than what you can't do. and steve brought this up here. yes.

my mom had me when she was a teenager, so we've always been like friends, as well as like mother and son. she taught me how to read. and now i'm a writer who's workers read worldwide. i owe that to her. now she has dementia. so sometimes it's hard for her to find the right words, but her weird and brilliance still shines through as the other day when i said to her that she seemed happier than she had seemed a couple of hours before. and she said, well, you know, i'm living in a very unstable universe. thank you ma'am. that is something we haven't talked about enough, which is wicked humor. if you don't laugh, you're going to be doing an awful lot of crying. let's talk about what is possible in terms of care and advances. can we help us with care from a south african perspective? what is out there? what is possible?

what can you do as a community even? well, you know, from what we in dementia is they have experience, is we still at the time of the pandemic, one for to remain relevant. and many of the doctors and memory clinics and, and assessment paces the hospitals that weren't open in available to people for any kinds of of assessment tools, diagnosis. and so we did it a number of webinar and we started a what support group and we miss every and we still do a half you say to meet every thursday between one and 2 on a thursday on zoom and met us become a lifeline for many many carriers who are in various stages of, of, in the care of a loved ones. so you would have somebody that's just been diagnosed with somebody that is, you know, much further down the line. and you know,

it's that information is live experience that understanding of the good, the good days, the bad days. and you know, how do we handle the situation? that's very encouraging. nothing for form, for many kids and family. i love to ask a savannah. this question is something that we shared with our audience on line. so on twitter, we said the number of people living with dementia is expected to nearly triple by 2050. what do you think is needed to provide better treatment and support for people with dementia and their families? of course that's a different answer for different regions to possible different families even. but savannah, what do we need to do better? i think we just need a very dementia friendly demand environment. you need everyone to be sensitive to dimensions. the most important is the cost, the policymakers. we need the w h o global action plan to dementia to come into

every country. we also need for society to be sensitive to the needs of people and their families. we need to have parks friendly, we need to have workspace is friendly. we need to have home stanley, environmental design friendly. we need people to understand what people are going through. so then a person dementia locks on the road. he's just, he just feels supported by everybody around him to policy and a dement shift in the environment and health care system severely and social catrice comes to really up the game to prepare for taking care of people in dementia. i have got you 2 questions. andrea, you've got answers as well. you can assess andrew, i'll have you some questions for you guys? no, i just wanted to add to the other thing that i've been working on that i feel is so important, is that we need to educate everyone about this disorder. so that they'll know

and be empowered with how to care for these individuals in care for themselves. so i've written one book for clinicians, one for the individual themselves who have a memory loss in one book for the families. and i'm, i think that with education people will do better till what we go about say, go ahead, go ahead. now, you know, i absolutely agree with andrew and serv on it because i think that it is really that understanding of the stigmatization of awareness education that really does put to main chair as, as a, as a priority. you know, as a health care party, i think, you know, social care the availability of a way and the clinics and assessments clinics and you know, it, it has to happen,

you know, on it a number of different levels. so as andrew, as mentioned, clinicians and those in terms of the families that it's not a communicable disease that you can't catch it. you know, it's just, it's, it's a matter of fact, it happened me and you know, see how best we can do with the family. how you haven't been coming to your can't catch it. but if you have somebody in your family who has dementia a use and going to have dimensions, oh, there's one more in here and you go 1st guy when you get a 2nd, i'm sorry, yes. who are slightly higher risk. if you have a family member with the disease, it depends a little bit on which family member it is. but in general, your risk is considered to increase to fall to for fault with

a family member with the disease con agreed. should we live on an absolutely so you know, somebody like that. so for instance, when my mother was 62 relatively young and it said that the age of unsafe and diagnosis, they do have case quite a significant role in it. you know, you live in fear. ah, but you know, at the end of the day, you know, with the modifications of diet and exercise. and last choices. you know, what's good for the heart is good for the brain and that, that's exactly the adage that we all need to do a job. i mean, when i lose the keys, i'm to say i go outside mister day, i am totally convinced that i have inherited it from a family member. and i'm dude. and then i go and do some yoga, drink water and hope that that will fix it. i have got so many questions and concerns from our audience. let me share that with you very quickly and get as many as possible. cow says if a loved one present symptoms, how do you start talking about it with them in an empathetic way savannah,

you want to have a go with this one? yes, i think that's the 1st step. so then your love for losing good keys? are they forgotten what you have told them i forgot and what they had for breakfast? you 1st have to be assured them that it's on right. and that you have to tell them . so this is what you had for breakfast. this is what you did yesterday. yes, it might be a memory problem. it can be helped. let's go meet the doctor, but don't worry, i'm there for you and we'll support you through all of the. i'll be your memory. ok, all be your memory. so we get you through this. i think reassuring a person not denying the symptom. so g a, shooting them and telling them you will be there and you would make life easier for them. i love that you should go meet the doctor and things will get you. you can get help, get really helpful. sheila, all this on youtube,

let me give this to you. andrew, as a health care provider, sheila says something i've noticed is combative or aggressive behaviors in seniors with dementia. what do you attribute that to? a lot of it is simply that the individual with dementia is confused, as you brought up at the beginning of the broadcast. and they don't understand what's going on and usually doing things with a calm voice with good facial expression. good. by the language that's all calming and you simply explain to them everything is all right in. let's take a look at some of your old pictures or let's have a cup of tea or do another activity that will distract them from whatever is confusing them and help them feel more comfortable. so this is really interesting in the last many of the shows, i'm going to ask if it instant response here. short see says if we know more about

what is bringing this on, dementia, cognitive issues. and we can at least begin to avoid these things and, and help stop that huge rise in the numbers of people living with dementia. so if there was one thing that you would say, curren andrew savannah, maybe it's some new tag or an ability to care better, or maybe it's you, your caregiver should be your family members. what is it that you would say to our audience that will really help them if they are living with dementia or maybe they will do later on down the line. karen, this is a one lie thought, go ahead. i think that and you know, for, for i think it would be you know, be accepting, be more understanding and learn about is the all right, learn about the disease that we've been doing that to day and we'll go ahead one thought j engage in aerobic exercise it's the best thing for patients,

families, caregivers, and so exercising andrea. so again, all right, thank you so much and savannah your one. i thought to wrap us up, engage your people will talk to people, learn your king's doyle, favorite activities, and keep going. and you can actually give going savannah, andrew. karen, thank you so much for your expertise. thank you for your questions and your comments from our new chief audience as well. i will see you next time. take everybody. ah ah, we town the untold story. ah, we speak when others don't. ah,

we cover all sides. no matter where it takes us. a fin, sir, got my eye, and power impartial. we tell your story. we are your voice, your news, your net al jazeera, ah, with african narrative, from african perspective. to be from one in a brochure to try to be a good for a new series of short documentary by african filmmakers from kenya. nigeria and

rwanda. margie joy, our lot, talk some more conservation from about joy in the traffic and feeding the game africa direct on al jazeera. ah ah ah.
