World Alzheimer ReportsADI has published three World Alzheimer Reports, covering different topics. The World Alzheimer Report 2009 contains a comprehensive global study of the prevalence of dementia and looks at levels of mortality, disability, strain on carers and dependency. The report also has an overview of what dementia is, examples of good national dementia plans and health service responses. The World Alzheimer Report 2010 provides the most comprehensive global picture yet of the economic impact of Alzheimer's disease and dementia and includes an estimate of the worldwide cost of dementia, including direct medical costs, direct non-medical costs and costs of informal (family) care. The World Alzheimer Report 2011 looks at the benefits of early diagnosis and intervention, based on the first-ever systematic review of the evidence on early diagnosis and early intervention for dementia. |
