Dementia Levels 'Same As 20 Years Ago'

New research has found that concerns about a dementia epidemic are unfounded, as rates appear to be stabilising in the UK and parts of Europe. Researchers from the Institute of Public Health at Cambridge University have found the percentage of British people aged over 65 with dementia in 2011 was one-fifth lower than what it was expected to be. In 1991, it was predicted that 8% of pensioners would have dementia in 2011.
