Impacto económico-social de la enfermedad de Alzheimer

Mónica Aranda

Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, Argentina

lthough dementia is the leading cause of disability

and the main factor of dependence in the elderly,

economic burden and psychological stress in the caregiver,

it has not yet been prioritized in the same degree as other

noncommunicable chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular

disease and cancer. Some aspects related to the prevalence

and the rise of number of people with dementia are

discussed in this paper. The impact of dementia as well

as the knowledge and control of its risk factors using the

course of life perspective with a multifactorial approach

could lead to a reduction in the number of patients with

dementia. International initiatives for the treatment of

dementias are considered, particularly in Latin America.
