At present, dementia is the seventh leading cause of death of all diseases and one of the main causes of disability of the elderly in the world. In the future, the number of people with this disease will increase significantly. According to foreign media reports, on Thursday, according to the latest report released by the World Health Organization, with the aging of the global population, the number of patients with dementia will increase by 40% to 78 million in the next decade

The report points out that at present, more than 55 million people worldwide suffer from dementia, which means that 8.1% of women and 5.4% of men over the age of 65 suffer from dementia, of which more than 60% live in low-income and middle-income countries.

As the proportion of the elderly population is increasing in almost every country, it is estimated that this number will rise to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050.

With the increase of dementia patients, the global cost for dementia will also increase significantly. In 2019, the global cost for dementia is estimated to be $1.3 trillion. It is estimated that by 2030, this cost will increase to $1.7 trillion and $2.8 trillion if the cost of care is added.

There are many different forms of dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, accounting for 60-70% of cases. Other major forms include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and a group of diseases that lead to frontotemporal dementia (frontal lobe degeneration).

In addition, dementia may develop after a stroke or some infections (such as HIV, harmful use of alcohol, repeated brain damage or nutritional deficiency).

However, although age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia, it is not an inevitable result of biological aging. In addition, dementia does not only affect the elderly, but young patients with dementia (symptoms before the age of 65) account for 9% of cases.

It is worth mentioning that studies have shown that the risk of cognitive decline and dementia can be reduced by exercising, not smoking, avoiding harmful use of alcohol, controlling weight, eating healthily and maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
