Understanding Dementia Types
Dementia is a syndrome that significantly impairs brain function, affecting memory, thinking, and daily activities. The most common form is Alzheimer's disease, characterized by amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, which typically affects older populations. Other types include vascular dementia, caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, Lewy body dementia marked by abnormal protein deposits, frontotemporal dementia affecting personality and language, and mixed dementia, which combines characteristics of two or more types. It's estimated that over 55 million people globally currently have dementia, with projections indicating that this number could rise to 130 million by 2050, highlighting the need for increased awareness and preventive measures.
