Overview
More than 850,000 people live with dementia UK. Currently, the odds of developing dementia jump from 1/14 for over 65s to 1/6 for over 80s.
As the result of an aging population, experts predict the number of people with the condition will increase to more than a million by 2025. That will increase to two million by 2050.
Dementia is also the only condition in the top 10 causes of death without a treatment to prevent or cure its progression.

You will also learn about the importance or early diagnosis and the different types of dementia and their symptoms.
