Alzheimer's global impact

Alzheimer's disease has a profound global impact, affecting millions of individuals and their families. It is the most common form of dementia, leading to memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. As populations age, the number of people diagnosed is rising sharply, straining healthcare systems and economies. In 2020, an estimated 50 million people lived with dementia worldwide, and this number is expected to triple by 2050. The emotional, social, and financial burdens on caregivers and communities are significant, necessitating increased awareness, research, and support services to address this growing public health challenge.
