As the population ages, dementia has become an increasing health concern around the world.
Dementia is not one single condition, but essentially an umbrella term that covers a wide range of cognitive disorders. This includes Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for 60 to 80% of cases, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.
There are more than 850,000 people living in the UK with dementia, and there is currently no cure. But recognising the early signs and symptoms is still very important.
