Abstract

AIMS: Younger onset dementia (YOD) is any form of dementia that occurs in those\65 years and includes people with early onset Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, fronto-temporal dementia and dementia associated with other conditions such as Huntington's disease, Down syndrome, HIV/AIDs dementia, alcohol related dementia and other rare neurological conditions. The focus of the literature review was to examine the service needs of people with YOD and to provide a guide to service design and development.
