Dementia is Not a Normal Process of Ageing

Speaker: Professor Sebastiaan Engelborghs

Dementia is not a normal process of ageing. One in five people will receive the diagnosis of Dementia at some point in their lives. By 2070, this figure is expected to double again as we continue to live longer. This is frightening, because the disease seems irreversible. But VUB professor of neurology Sebastiaan Engelborghs and journalist Barbara Ceuleers offer hope. Together, they wrote the book Vergeet dementie (Forget Dementia). “Almost half of future cases can be delayed or even prevented.”

Professor Sebastiaan Engelborghs is a professor of neurology and neurosciences at VUB, co-director of the VUB Center for Neurosciences (C4N) and chairman of the department of neurology at VUB.
