Altering the Forecast on the Tsunami of Dementia – A Framework for Prevention, Symptom Deceleration and Reversal
Hope For Dementia published a framework advocating for dementia prevention to be a national health care priority.
Based on available data, the position taken in this White Paper is that the current trends in growth of the number of people affected by dementia presents an unsustainable trajectory, but that this trajectory can be bent downward if appropriate prevention strategies are widely implemented. The White Paper proposes a framework to bend the curve downward that is based on insights derived from research and recommends prevention strategies and the delivery of services within the healthcare system.
