Abstract
According to the World Alzheimer's Report (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2022) and the Global status report on the public health response to dementia (WHO, 2022), 55+ million people live with dementia, a condition characterized by deterioration in cognition and functionality beyond the expected effects of normal aging. WHO has recognized dementia as a public health priority. Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) may result from a disparate combination of processes, including genetic and environmental factors (fiscal, social, economic), pathological processes, and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain. Dementia is a leading cause of disability, dependence and death among older people globally. The impact of dementia at personal and societal levels is unequally distributed, usually following a distribution similar to that of the inequality index of the corresponding country.
