Today was the last day of my research stay @cedemografia.bsky.social. I had the great opportunity to work with Iñaki Permanyer and Jordi Guma together on a comparative study on #dementia-related morbidity trajectories of #Catalans and #Germans. Excited to share insights in the coming year.
Last week I had the chance to present my project on the healthcare utilization of people newly diagnosed with dementia at the cooperation conference "Gesundheit Gemeinsam 2024" in Dresden. The perfect opportunity to discuss with public health, medical, epi and social science researchers
