摘要:Dementia is becoming a major concern worldwide because its prevalence and incidence rise exponentially with increasing age. The prevalence rates double with every 5 years of age, from about 5% (4-12%depending on the studies) in those aged 65 and older to about 40% over 90[1], and up to 58% in those 95 and older[2]. The annual incidence rate of dementia is 2.2% per year over age 65[3]. According to 1996 United Nations projections, the number of individuals ~ed 65 and older in the more developed countries will increase from 169 million (14.2% of the population) to 287 million (24. 7% of the population)[3]. Besides the huge human and social costs, the economic burden of dementia is enormous in countries with a long lifeexpectancy[3], both from direct costs, i.e., those that result in actual monetary expenditures, such as hospital care, physician visits, medications, home health care workers or institutional care and indirect costs, i.e.,those that do not result in actual monetary expenditures, such as time spouses or other caregivers spend helping and caring.
