The conceptualization of dementia has changed dramatically in
recent years with the claim that, through early detection and by
controlling several risk factors, a prevention of dementia is
possible. Although encouraging and providing hope against this
feared condition, this claim is open to scrutiny. This volume looks
at how this new conceptualization ignores many of the factors which
influence a dementia sufferers' prognosis, including their history
with education, food and exercise as well as their living in
different epistemic cultures. The central aim is to question the
concept of prevention and analyze its impact on aging people and
aging societies.
