A shift in focus from symptoms and disability towards the capacity and potential of the person with dementia is urgently needed to create a more balanced view of dementia and a more dementia-friendly society, which enables people and their families to adapt to the changes dementia brings in their lives. The new concept of social health suggested by Huber and colleagues seems helpful to make such a shift. In this dedicated special issue, a consensus-based operationalization of the concept of social health in dementia is proposed and several aspects of social health and related dementia care are addressed within the framework of European collaborative projects of the INTERDEM network.
迫切需要将关注重点从症状和残疾转向痴呆症患者的能力和潜力，以形成对痴呆症更平衡的看法，并营造一个对痴呆症更友好的社会，使人们及其家人能够适应痴呆症给他们生活带来的变化。休伯及其同事提出的社会健康新概念似乎有助于实现这一转变。在本期特刊中，我们提出了基于共识的痴呆症社会健康概念的操作化方法，并在INTERDEM网络欧洲合作项目的框架内探讨了社会健康的几个方面以及相关的痴呆症护理。
