Abstract:
The number of people with dementia is expected to quadruple by 2050. Because of its high prevalence and level of associated morbidity, dementia is already an urgent health and economic issue for the developed world. Fast Facts: Dementia specifically aims to equip the primary care physician and other members of the healthcare team with all of the necessary information to allow them to recognise the disease clinically and provide optimum management and long-term care. Offers a succinct review of the process of brain aging and its relationship to neurodegenerative disease Reviews the cause, course and treatment of each of the common illnesses that can provoke the dementia syndrome Enables the clinician to recognise the disease and to appreciate the basic principles of investigation and management Includes practical steps that the healthcare team can take to improve long-term care of patients and, perhaps, disease prevention.
