India's Dementia Burden Expected to Double by 2036 Due to Ageing Population
A recent study projects India's dementia cases will double by 2036, primarily due to an ageing population. Dr. Vinit Suri explains that while dementia becomes more common with age, this increase reflects demographic shifts rather than a rise in age-specific risk. Dementia, a syndrome affecting memory and cognition, can result from various conditions including Alzheimer's disease, vascular issues, and Parkinson's. Though more prevalent in older adults, younger-onset dementia can also occur, with factors like hypertension and diabetes influencing overall burden.
