This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
Song Eun I, a broadcaster on Problem Child in House, revealed that she has a dementia gene.
The KBS2 program Problem Child in House, which aired on the 1st, featured two giants of Korea's medical community, Dr. Lee Si-hyung and Dr. Yoon Bang-bu, who are still active at ages 93 and 84 respectively.
The two giants of the medical community, Dr. Lee Si-hyung and Dr. Yoon Bang-bu, whose combined age reaches 177, appeared and had an in-depth conversation about longevity and health. The topic that drew great interest from the cast that day was "dementia."
Dr. Lee Si-hyung, an authority in psychiatry, opened by saying, "Dementia is greatly influenced by genetics." He said, "If a parent carries the APOE4 gene at birth after genetic testing, the probability of developing dementia is 30%, and if both parents have it, it reaches 50%," which shocked the scene.
Dr. Lee added a more severe warning about the onset timing. He said, "If typical dementia begins in the 60s to 70s, carriers of the gene can develop it from their 30s to 40s."
When he reported that this gene is particularly commonly found in Koreans, Song Eun I cautiously revealed her test results. Song Eun I confessed, "I actually did a genetic test and they told me I have that gene," surprising everyone.
