Medical research on AMD and dementia

Overview

Medical research efforts are currently focused on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and dementia. Experts note that AMD affects the macula and is divided into dry forms, which account for 85-90 percent of cases, and wet forms involving abnormal blood vessel growth.

Regarding dementia, researchers are addressing its increasing prevalence in aging populations and its impact on children. The Norwegian National Association (Nasjonalforeningen) is calling for increased research funding and improved care services for both patients and caregivers.
