Lancet paper suggests dementia cases could triple by 2050 unless there is further intervention
Researchers have called for dementia to be treated with the same urgency as Covid-19 after a study forecasted a huge increase in the number of people living with the neurodegenerative condition.
According to a paper published in The Lancet Public Health on 6 January, the number of people with dementia is expected to almost triple from 57 million cases globally in 2019 to 153 million by 2050.
