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) UR - http://www.alz.co.uk/research/world-report-2010 ER -
