Dementia is the seventh leading cause of death globally, affecting over 55 million people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized dementia as a public health priority, promoting awareness, reducing risk, and improving care. The 2017-2025 global action plan focuses on addressing dementia as a public health priority, reducing dementia risk, and promoting a dementia-inclusive society. The emergence of disease-modifying drugs has revolutionized Alzheimer's disease management. Early intervention and recognition of rapidly progressive dementias can slow disease progression and improve outcomes. The book "IAN Reviews in Neurology: Dementia" provides valuable insights into dementia management.
