Dementia is considered a life-limiting illness because it progressively impairs cognitive functions, affecting memory, reasoning, and daily activities, leading to a decline in the individual's ability to care for themselves. As the disease advances, patients may experience complications such as infections, malnutrition, and dehydration, which can significantly shorten life expectancy. Additionally, the emotional and psychological burdens on both the individual and their caregivers can impact overall health and well-being. Ultimately, dementia can lead to a gradual loss of autonomy and quality of life, contributing to its classification as a life-limiting condition.
