Dementia
Dementia, a broad term encompassing a range of cognitive impairments, affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by a decline in memory, thinking, and behavior that interferes with daily life. While Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, other factors, such as vascular disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, can also contribute to cognitive decline.
Alzheimer's 2024 conference will feature a scientific session dedicated to dementia, highlighting the latest research on its causes, symptoms, and potential treatments. This session will explore the diverse factors that contribute to dementia, as well as emerging strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and management.
