Song Eun-yi, a broadcaster of "Okmun-ah," revealed that she has a dementia gene.

Professor Yoon Bang-bu and Dr. Lee Si-hyung appeared on KBS 2TV's entertainment show "Troubles in the Rooftop Room" (hereinafter referred to as "Ok Moon-ah").

Professor Yoon said, "These days, we don't use the disease name dementia. It's called cognitive impairment. Among the cognitive impairments, there is mild recognition. Life is done. But when I call, I can't speak and I can't lock the button well. I have a lot of fights with my family. If you often forget, it's better to test it," he explained.

When Song Eun-yi asked, "What is the genetic impact of dementia?" Dr. Lee said, "The genetic impact is great. If one person is born with the APOE4 gene, the prevalence rate of dementia is 40%, and if both have it, it is 50%. It starts very early. It starts in the 60s and 70s. When dementia patients are collected and tested, 70% of them are genes. There are 20 percent of Koreans." Song Eun-yi said, "I tested it and there was a gene. There is a way to prevent it, but I know it. I have to try, too," he confessed.

Professor Yoon said, "There is a dementia injection. That's 18 months, tens of millions of won. Later, in your time, wouldn't it be possible to take medicine and fix it?"

Meanwhile, "Okmun-ah" airs every Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
