Dementia: Prognosis

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Dementia: Prognosis

The prognosis for dementia depends on the underlying disease. On average, people with Alzheimer's disease live eight years past their diagnosis, with a range from one to 20 years. Vascular dementia is usually progressive, with death from stroke, infection, or heart disease.
