"Every 24 seconds, another person is diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease in the EU. Almost one in 20 people over the age of 65 and one in five over 80 suffer from dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is responsible for more than half of these cases. In total, more than 8 million Europeans aged between 30 and 99 are affected, and scientists estimate that this number could double every 20 years in future. The European Union has to take initiatives so that the increase in the number of people affected by these diseases can be addressed in the coming decades. I endorsed the European Parliament resolution calling, in particular, on the Member States to take steps to help slow down the disease’s progression in sufferers – such as promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring that medication is available to all sufferers – to establish specialist centres, to provide satisfactory medical equipment nationwide, and to draw up strategic action plans for research in this area."@en1
