Dementia only affects about 5% of people over the age of 65, and 20% of those over the age of 80.
Another answer: Patients, their family, doctors, and society at large are affected by the effects of dementia. When a person experiences the development of dementia, they slowly lose their memory. First they begin to forget little things, and then it gradually builds up. One of the early signs of dementia is when a person forgets the names of those closest to them. As the dementia develops, a person may forget what has happened earlier in their day, or even what has happened just few hours ago. Eventually, they will not be able to remember their own name or what they are doing at the moment.
Dementia occurs because brain cells deteriorate- sometimes very quickly.
