Riassunto

Because of its high prevalence and level of associated morbidity, dementia is already an urgent health and economic issue for the developed world. As public health efforts improve the life expectancy of populations in developing countries, the number of people with dementia worlwide is expected to quadruple by 2050. Effective means of intervention and prevention are thus needed urgently. "Fast Facts - Dementia" should enable the non-specialist healthcare professional to understand the basic causes of dementia, recognize it clinically, appreciate the basic principles of investigation and management, and learn of some steps that many improve the long-term care of patients or perhaps even prevent dementia.
