Monograph 52 p.
On World Alzheimer's Day 2010, Alzheimer's Disease International ( ADI) released a new report highlighting the soaring cost of dementia and the need for action by policy makers and governments across the globe. World Alzheimer Report 2010 is a culmination of the most comprehensive, current data. Findings include: * Dementia is significantly affecting every health and social care system in the world. * Dementia care costs around 1 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP). * If dementia care were a country, it would be the world's 18th largest economy (ranking between Turkey and Indonesia). * By 2030, worldwide societal costs will increase by 85 percent (a very conservative estimate considering only increases in the number of people with dementia).
