Young-onset dementia: A growing public health concern in Canada

 

Young-onset dementia is a growing public health concern in Canada. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the number of individuals impacted is projected to reach more than 40,000 people by 2050.

The diagnosis of dementia in individuals under the age of 65 is referred to as “young onset dementia” and poses unique challenges. Diagnoses are often delayed, and it’s tough to get workplace accommodations.

The reasons behind the rise of young-onset dementia in Canada are not yet fully understood.

The study highlights that the initial diagnosis of young-onset dementia is often incorrect, leading to delayed diagnoses and missed opportunities for early intervention.
