In Western countries, the prevalence of dementia is below 1% in those aged 60-64 years, but it doubles with each 5-year cohort to a figure of around 16% in those aged 80-84 years. The emotional impact of dementia on relatives and carers and the cost to society in social support and care facilities are great. Hence the impetus for an effective form of treatment is compelling.
