New study from us exploring the long-term care trajectories among older men and women with stroke in the Swedish population. While stroke increases both mortality and long-term care utilization a considerable part of care is concentrated among those with preexisting care needs ↓

Denna vecka har vi ett intressant avsnitt av Tyngre Träningssnack när @karin_modig gästar mig och Wille. Tillsammans med en dåligt representativ bild av hur det vanligen är att bli riktigt gammal.

Jag älskar att läsa understreckarna @Under_strecket i SvD, idag om befolkningen av min professor och mentor @andersahlbom1 och häromdagen om livsmedelsproduktion och befolkning i Afrika av en annan klok kollega. Allmänbildande och trevliga essäer. svd.se/a/l3ePxy/det-tar-mang…
