Today I participated as a discussant in Dementia Forum X in the Royal Palace. This event was dedicated to the launch of WHO\u00b4s Guidelines on Risk Reduction of Cognitive Decline and Dementia<\/a>. These guidelines capture the vast amount of data that have been amassed from relevant intervention studies and give recommendations on physical activity, tobacco, alcohol, and nutrition and on the management of a number of diseases and health conditions that might increase the risk of dementia. These new guidelines stand as a concise and critical overview of a field that represents a tremendous challenge for our future healthcare and welfare system.<\/p>\n

Three factors<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Three factors explain the scale of this challenge. First<\/strong>, attempts to develop drugs that can halt or slow the progression of Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia have consistently failed. Secon<\/strong>d, dementia takes a great toll on society in terms of human suffering and economic costs: dementia impacts patients, family, and caregivers alike and requires us to think anew on treatment and care. Third<\/strong>, there is a challenge in sheer numbers. The Guidelines state that dementia affects 50 million of the world\u2019s population today, and that it is set to affect as many as 83 million by 2030. In 2015 the total cost of dementia amounted to more than 1% of the global gross domestic product. These costs will increase with the ageing of the population.<\/p>\n

Dementia a societal challenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The choice of venue for today\u00b4s forum reflects the keen interest in dementia taken by Her Majesty Queen Silvia and other members of the Royal Family. That this interest pervades through society at large is required for progress to occur. Dementia is a societal challenge in the true meaning of the term. If I should come up with one critical remark it is exactly this: that the Guidelines target but a limited (albeit important) set of relevant actors and stakeholders in society. The primary Target Audience (as defined on page 4 in the Guidelines) is \u201chealth care providers working at a first or second level facility or at district level, including basic outpatient and inpatient services.\u201d In all fairness, it is stated on the same page that the guidelines \u201chave implications for policy-makers, health care planners and programme managers at national and international level.\u201d But these actors and stakeholders are not identified as primary targets.<\/p>\n

Why is this important? Obviously individual choices on lifestyle are not taken in a socioeconomic or political vacuum. There are political determinants of health. Tax and legislation impact risk factors such as accessibility and affordability of healthy foods, and trade agreements may restrict policy space for health by making it difficult for governments to take adequate preventive steps. In the Bernadotte Library today I mentioned one concrete example: In the wake of the publication of the Lancet Commission <\/a>on Global Governance for Health (a commission that I had the privilege to head) I travelled to Chile to present the commission report there. In a conversation with the Chilean President at that time, Michelle Bachelet, I learned that plans to label unhealthy foods as such were thwarted as they ran counter to the conditions set out in extant trade agreements. In our Lancet Commission we also showed how powerful transnational companies may restrict nations\u00b4 policy space for disease prevention.<\/p>\n

Already the famous German pathologist Rudolf Virchow stated that \u201cpolitics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale\u201d. There is much truth in this. Politics is about priorities, and it is quite clear that more investments need to be made in research on dementia and other neurological conditions. This important field is lagging behind other fields when it comes to access to funds and financial support. In other words, current investments in dementia care and research are not commensurate with the scale of the challenge. The Guidelines illustrate this: it states that for many of the suggested interventions, evidence is still insufficient or of suboptimal quality. More research is needed to strengthen the recommendations – and more efforts are required to form efficient international research networks within this complex field of research. The FINGER study<\/a> \u2013 headed by KI researcher Miia Kivipelto \u2013 is a stellar example of such an effort. It comprises more than 20 countries and works across domains and sectors. A global challenge requires a global effort.<\/p>\n

Research and education are key<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Research \u2013 basic, clinical, and epidemiological – is important in order to grapple with the challenge at hand, and so is education. Care of patients with dementia requires a special breed of health professionals that is attentive to the complexity of this condition and the impact it has on the social fabric within which the patient shall continue to live with dignity and respect. Silviahemmet was referred to repeatedly in the course of today\u00b4s symposium, and appropriately so. Karolinska Institutet in collaboration with Silviahemmet offers master programs in dementia care for physicians, physio- and occupational therapists.<\/p>\n

The meeting today enlisted representatives from multiple countries and a wide range of stakeholders, organizations, and funding bodies. Just the kind of mix that is needed to muster collective action in this field. A societal challenge requires a full-scale societal effort.<\/p>\n

To make headway we need research and education and we need a global perspective in everything we do. Less than a day after returning from a meeting in Dakar, Senegal, I find myself wondering how we could better include low and middle income countries in current intervention studies. These countries bear a heavy burden of dementia and other non-communicable diseases. These countries must not be left behind.<\/p>\n

Svensk version:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Idag deltog jag i en panel i Dementia Forum X p\u00e5 kungliga slottet. Detta evenemang\u00a0dedikerades till lanceringen av WHO’s\u00a0Guidelines on Risk Reduction of Cognitive Decline and Dementia<\/a>. Dessa riktlinjer f\u00e5ngar upp de enorma m\u00e4ngder data som samlats in fr\u00e5n relevanta interventionsstudier och ger rekommendationer om fysisk aktivitet, tobak, alkohol och n\u00e4ring, och om hanterandet av ett antal sjukdomar och h\u00e4lsotillst\u00e5nd som\u00a0kan \u00f6ka\u00a0risken f\u00f6r demens. Dessa nya riktlinjer utg\u00f6r en kortfattad och kritisk \u00f6versikt \u00f6ver ett omr\u00e5de som utg\u00f6r en oerh\u00f6rd utmaning f\u00f6r v\u00e5rt framtida h\u00e4lso- och v\u00e4lf\u00e4rdssystem.<\/p>\n

Tre faktorer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tre faktorer f\u00f6rklarar omfattningen av denna utmaning. F\u00f6r det f\u00f6rsta<\/strong>, de f\u00f6rs\u00f6k som gjorts f\u00f6r att utveckla l\u00e4kemedel som kan stoppa eller bromsa utvecklingen av Alzheimers sjukdom och andra former av demens har misslyckats. F\u00f6r det andra<\/strong>, demens skapar stora p\u00e5frestningar p\u00e5 samh\u00e4llet i form av m\u00e4nskligt lidande och stora kostnader: demens p\u00e5verkar\u00a0patienter, familjer och v\u00e5rdgivare och tvingar oss att t\u00e4nka i nya banor\u00a0vad g\u00e4ller behandling och v\u00e5rd.\u00a0F\u00f6r det tredje<\/strong>, det finns en utmaning\u00a0i det stora antalet m\u00e4nniskor som drabbas. Riktlinjerna\u00a0konstaterar att idag lider 50 miljoner\u00a0av v\u00e4rldens befolkning av demens, och att 2030 kommer siffran att vara 83 miljoner. Under 2015 uppgick den totala kostnaden till mer \u00e4n en procent av den globala bruttonationalprodukten. Dessa kostnader kommer att \u00f6ka i takt med att befolkningen \u00e5ldras.<\/p>\n

Demens \u2013 en samh\u00e4llsutmaning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Valet av plats f\u00f6r dagens forum speglar det stora intresse f\u00f6r demens som Hennes Majest\u00e4t Drottning Silvia och andra medlemmar av kungafamiljen har.\u00a0Det \u00e4r en f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttning att detta intresse genomsyrar hela samh\u00e4llet f\u00f6r att vi ska kunna g\u00f6ra framsteg.\u00a0 Demens\u00a0\u00e4r en samh\u00e4llsutmaning i begreppets r\u00e4tta form. Om jag nu ska komma med en kritisk anm\u00e4rkning s\u00e5 \u00e4r det denna: Riktlinjerna riktar sig endast till ett begr\u00e4nsat antal (om \u00e4n viktiga) intressenter i samh\u00e4llet. Den prim\u00e4ra m\u00e5lgruppen (som definieras p\u00e5 sidan 4 i Riktlinjerna) \u00e4r \u201cH\u00e4lso- och sjukv\u00e5rdspersonal som arbetar p\u00e5 en f\u00f6rsta eller andra niv\u00e5 eller p\u00e5 distriktsniv\u00e5, inklusive grundl\u00e4ggande polikliniska och inpatienttj\u00e4nster\u201c. I \u00e4rlighetens namn s\u00e5 st\u00e5r det p\u00e5 samma sida att \u201criktlinjerna\u00a0f\u00e5r konsekvenser f\u00f6r beslutsfattare, h\u00e4lsov\u00e5rdsplanerare och programansvariga p\u00e5 nationell och internationell niv\u00e5.\u201d Men dessa akt\u00f6rer och intressenter \u00e4r inte identifierade som prim\u00e4ra m\u00e5lgrupp.<\/p>\n

Varf\u00f6r \u00e4r detta viktigt? Sj\u00e4lvklart fattas inte enskilda val\u00a0av livsstil i ett socioekonomiskt eller politiskt vakuum. Det finns politiska determinanter\u00a0f\u00f6r h\u00e4lsa.<\/a> Skattepolitik och lagstiftning p\u00e5verkar riskfaktorer som tillg\u00e4nglighet och \u00f6verkomliga priser f\u00f6r h\u00e4lsosam mat, och handelsavtal kan begr\u00e4nsa\u00a0det politiska\u00a0utrymmet f\u00f6r\u00a0att p\u00e5verka h\u00e4lsa genom att g\u00f6ra det sv\u00e5rt f\u00f6r regeringarna att vidta l\u00e4mpliga f\u00f6rebyggande \u00e5tg\u00e4rder. I Bernadottebiblioteket idag n\u00e4mnde jag ett konkret exempel: I k\u00f6lvattnet av Lancetkommissionen<\/a> f\u00f6r global styrning\u00a0av h\u00e4lsa (en kommission som jag hade privilegiet att leda) reste jag till Chile f\u00f6r att presentera kommissionens rapport d\u00e4r. I en konversation med den chilenska presidenten vid den tiden, Michelle Bachelet, l\u00e4rde jag mig att planer p\u00e5 att m\u00e4rka oh\u00e4lsosamma livsmedel motverkades eftersom de stred mot villkoren i g\u00e4llande handelsavtal. I v\u00e5r Lancet Commission visade vi ocks\u00e5 hur kraftfulla transnationella f\u00f6retag kan begr\u00e4nsa nationernas politiska utrymme f\u00f6r f\u00f6rebyggande av sjukdomar.<\/p>\n

Redan den ber\u00f6mda tyska patologen Rudolf Virchow sa att “politik \u00e4r inget annat \u00e4n medicin i stor skala”. Det ligger mycket sanning i detta. Politik handlar om prioriteringar, och det st\u00e5r helt klart att det beh\u00f6vs fler investeringar i forskning kring demens och andra neurologiska tillst\u00e5nd. Detta viktiga omr\u00e5de ligger efter andra samh\u00e4llsutmaningar n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller tillg\u00e5ng till finansiering och ekonomiskt st\u00f6d. Med andra ord st\u00e5r inte nuvarande investeringar i demensv\u00e5rd och forskning i proportion till utmaningens omfattning. Riktlinjerna illustrerar detta: det st\u00e5r att f\u00f6r m\u00e5nga av de f\u00f6reslagna interventionerna \u00e4r bevis fortfarande otillr\u00e4ckliga eller av suboptimal kvalitet. Mer forskning beh\u00f6vs f\u00f6r att st\u00e4rka rekommendationerna, och mer insatser kr\u00e4vs f\u00f6r att bilda effektiva internationella forskningsn\u00e4tverk inom detta komplexa omr\u00e5de. FINGER-studien<\/a> – under ledning av KI-forskaren Miia Kivipelto – \u00e4r ett utm\u00e4rkt exempel. Denna interventionsstudie omfattar mer \u00e4n 20 l\u00e4nder och str\u00e4cker sig \u00f6ver dom\u00e4ner och sektorer. En global utmaning kr\u00e4ver en global insats.<\/p>\n

Forskning och utbildning \u00e4r nyckelfaktorer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Forskning \u2013 grundl\u00e4ggande, klinisk och epidemiologisk \u2013 och utbildning \u00e4r nyckelfaktorer\u00a0f\u00f6r att kunna \u00a0ta itu med utmaningen. V\u00e5rd av patienter med demens kr\u00e4ver en speciell\u00a0typ av h\u00e4lso- och sjukv\u00e5rdspersonal som \u00e4r uppm\u00e4rksamma p\u00e5 detta komplexa tillst\u00e5nd och dess inverkan p\u00e5 den sociala\u00a0kontext inom vilket patienten ska forts\u00e4tta att leva med v\u00e4rdighet och respekt. Det h\u00e4nvisades till Silviahemmet upprepade g\u00e5nger under dagens symposium, och det med r\u00e4tta. Karolinska Institutet i samarbete med Silviahemmet erbjuder\u00a0masterprogram i demensv\u00e5rd f\u00f6r l\u00e4kare, fysio- och ergoterapeuter.<\/p>\n

I dagens m\u00f6te deltog representanter fr\u00e5n flera l\u00e4nder och fr\u00e5n ett brett spektrum av intressenter, organisationer och finansieringsorgan.\u00a0Precis den typ av mix som beh\u00f6vs f\u00f6r att\u00a0uppb\u00e5da kollektiva \u00e5tg\u00e4rder p\u00e5 detta omr\u00e5de. En samh\u00e4llsutmaning kr\u00e4ver en fullskalig samh\u00e4llelig insats.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r att skapa framsteg beh\u00f6ver vi forskning och utbildning och vi beh\u00f6ver ett globalt perspektiv i allt vi g\u00f6r. Mindre \u00e4n en dag efter att ha \u00e5terv\u00e4nt fr\u00e5n ett m\u00f6te i Dakar, Senegal, undrar jag hur vi p\u00e5 ett b\u00e4ttre s\u00e4tt kan inkludera l\u00e5g- och medelinkomstl\u00e4nder i nuvarande interventionsstudier. Dessa l\u00e4nder b\u00e4r en stor\u00a0b\u00f6rda p\u00e5 grund\u00a0av demens och andra icke-smittsamma sjukdomar. Dessa l\u00e4nder f\u00e5r inte l\u00e4mnas utanf\u00f6r.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
