A recent New Interventions for Independence in Dementia (NIDUS-Family) programme aimed at helping people with dementia live independently at home for as long as possible has generated positive trial results that could be a lifeline for carers.
Alzheimer's Society researchers say there is 'no cause for concern' after a study presented a possible link between Alzheimer's disease transmission and a hormone treatment from human donors that was used in the 1980s.
Alzheimer's Society warns inequality is ‘rife’ as there is a difference of nearly 40 percentage points in dementia diagnosis rates reported across England.
Data confirms 34,412 people in England have been diagnosed with young-onset dementia, but the real figures could be much higher, with an estimated 19,194 living without a diagnosis and support.
