Doorbraak: medisch voedingsmiddel tegen dementie

Uit onderzoek “Souvenir 1 en 2” van professor Philip Scheltens van het Alzheimer Centrum VU, blijkt dat specifieke nutriënten bij licht dementerende patiënten zorgen voor een duidelijke verbetering van het geheugen. Wellicht een doorbraak in het onderzoek naar behandeling van dementie.



Tijdens de ‘Nationale Hersenlezing’ van de Hersenstichting Nederland sprak professor Scheltens over dit onderzoeksresultaat. Verder betoogde hij dat de exponentiële stijging van het aantal dementerenden noopt tot een Deltaplan tegen deze ziekte: “Uit het World Alzheimer rapport 2010 blijkt dat de kosten voor dementie in Nederland 7,5 miljard euro bedragen, gelijk aan de totale rijksuitgaven voor Defensie en Verkeer en Waterstaat samen. Scheltens pleit voor extra investeringen in onderzoek naar bestrijding van dementie. “Bij aids is de mortaliteit met 85 procent gedaald door extra geld voor onderzoek. Voor dementie geldt dat het vijf voor twaalf is.”
