Alzheimer Europe publish dementia prevalence report
Alzheimer Europe has published a report entitled: ‘The Prevalence of Dementia in Europe 2025’.
The report provides updated prevalence figures for the number of people living with dementia across Europe and breaks this down by each European country. Overall, it estimates that the number of people living with dementia by 2050 will increase by 58% in the EU27 countries, and by 64% in EU and non-EU countries combined.
Jean Georges, Alzheimer Europe Executive Director, says:
“The scale of the challenge posed by dementia across Europe is substantial and it is our sincere hope that our updated figures provide the impetus for decision-makers, both at the European and national levels, to prioritise dementia and ensure it is addressed across the domains of health, research, disability policy and support for informal carers.
In particular, policymakers must work to improve care services, make investments in health infrastructure for diagnosis and treatment, as well as help for family, carers and supporters of people with dementia. As part of this, they must take into consideration the changing demographics of the population and the prevalence of conditions such as dementia.”
