- Title
Demenz und Migration.
- Authors
Thyrian, Jochen René
- Abstract
The article "Dementia and Migration" in the Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics discusses the topic of dementia in relation to people with a migration background. It is pointed out that research on this topic in Germany is still limited, although it is estimated that there are around 100,000 people with dementia and a migration background. The article highlights various aspects, including access to care, the influence of dementia on first and second language, the influence of migration background on challenging behavior, and the conceptual classification of the topic within a more complex construct. It is emphasized that further research and differentiated analyses are necessary to better understand the needs of this population group and to develop appropriate care strategies.
