Dementia in the elderly
18min, 1994
Dementia (lat. Dementia - insanity) - acquired dementia, a persistent decline in cognitive activity with the loss to one degree or another of previously acquired knowledge and practical skills and the difficulty or inability to acquire new ones. Unlike mental retardation (oligophrenia), dementia congenital or acquired in infancy, which is an underdevelopment of the psyche, dementia is the breakdown of mental functions that occurs as a result of brain damage, often in youth as a result of addictive behavior, and most often in old age ( senile dementia; from lat.senilis - senile, old man). Among the people, senile dementia is called senile dementia. According to WHO, in 2015, there were more than 46 million people with dementia worldwide. In 2017, this figure increased to 50 million. 7.7 million new cases of dementia are reported each year, each of which is becoming a burden on families and health systems. It is expected that this number will increase to 131.5 million by 2050.
