Dementia
Commensurate with population ageing the number of people with dementia across the world is set to increase.
The World Alzheimer Report 2009 produced by Alzheimer’s Disease International reports that there are currently 35.6 million people with dementia with the numbers set to double every 20 years to 65.7 million in 2030 and 115.4 million in 2050.
With proportionate increases over the next twenty years in low and middle income countries, compared with high income countries. There is no longer just a moral and social argument for prioritising dementia; the economic imperative is now overwhelming and the implications for health, social care and research will be profound.
