Abstract

Dementia is a major public health challenge, not only for clinicians, but also for society as a whole. Prevalence rates of dementia are dependent on age, being reported as high as 24% to 48% in those older than 85 years.1,2 The overall prevalence in North America in those older than 65 years is 8% to 10%, or more than 27 million people.2 Furthermore, mortality is increased threefold in those with dementia.1 The proportion of elderly in our population is growing rapidly; with current prevalence rates, the number of individuals with dementia older than 65 years will more than double by 2021.2 Thus, there is an increasing demand on the health care system and public resources to care for people with dementia.
