CRA Tax Adjustment Delays Now Stretch Up to 47 Weeks — Here's How to Avoid Getting Stuck

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 reasons behind the rise of young-onset dementia in Canada are not yet fully understood. However, the latest landmark study by the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada suggests that a growing number of Canadians are developing dementia in their 60s, 50s, 40s, and even earlier. The study highlights that the initial diagnosis of young-onset dementia is often incorrect, leading to delayed diagnoses and missed opportunities for early intervention.
