Millions have unknowingly seen dementia signs in loved ones – but put it down to old age

Millions of adults have unknowingly seen signs of dementia in a loved one – but just put it down to them ‘having a moment’ or old age.

A study of 2,000 adults found many have witnessed a loved one forgetting words (30%), struggling to retain information (25%) and losing their belongings such as keys and wallets (24%).

But only 36% of them attributed such signs to them living with dementia.
