Abstract

The medical world has predicted that in 2020, the numbers of senile dementia patients in Korea will be more than 600,000. Currently, the distributions of dementia patients according to ages are 3% in the 70s, 23% between 85-89 years, and 58% over 95 years; further, it should be noted that the incidence rates sharply increase with age. Dementia, dubbed "disease of the 21st century", affects not only the patient but also the lives of the patient's family, decreases the family's quality of life, and sometimes accompanies enough burden and pain to destroy some families, and it is sometimes noted to cause significant problems in the society. This study was conducted at a dementia prevention center at a university by enrolling senior patients participating in the dementia prevention center program. The study aimed to actively develop dementia prevention programs and train specialized workforce for dementia prevention.

의학계는 2020년 국내노인성 치매환자가 60만명을 넘을 것으로 예상하고 있다. 현재 연령별 치매 환자 비율은 70대 3%, 85~89세 23%, 95세 이상이 58%로 나이에 따라 급격히 증가한다는 것도 주목해야 할 일이다. "21세기의 병"이라 불리우고 있는 치매는 환자 자신뿐 아니라 가족들의 삶까지도 심각한 영향을 미치고 있으며 삶의 질을 떨어뜨려 결국은 가족을 황폐화시킬 정도로 많은 부담과 고통을 동반하고 사회적으로도 심각한 문제가 되고 있다는 지적도 있다. 본 논문은 치매예방센터를 운영하는 대학의 치매예방센터의 프로그램에 참여하여 일정기간 노인들과 함께 프로그램에 참여하며 치매예방 프로그램에 대한 적극적인 개발과 치매예방 인력의 전문화를 위해 노인들과 함께 했다.
