Dementia refers to a syndrome characterised by a progressive deterioration of memory and at least one other cognitive domain (e.g. language, executive function, praxis) which interferes with one’s daily function and independence. Epidemiological data indicate the prevalence of dementia to be 6.5% of those aged over 65.
