Tóm tắt

OBJECTIVES: Understanding the timing of service access for persons with young-onset dementia is essential for developing adequate support. This study aims to describe the formal support available for persons with young-onset dementia in Sweden and identify factors influencing its provision over time. METHOD: A prospective cohort study was carried out using data from the Swedish Dementia Registry (SveDem), focusing on persons diagnosed with young-onset dementia between January 2009 and April 2022 ( RESULTS: Living with another adult and higher MMSE scores were significantly associated with later access to home help services ( CONCLUSION: The timing of access to support services for persons with young-onset dementia varies significantly, particularly for those living with another adult. These patterns may reflect a hidden caregiver burden.
