Among the more frequently quoted epidemiological facts in current
public health discussions are: (a) the elderly today represent
about 10% of the population of the industrialized world; (b) the
third world nations are moving in the same direction; (c) the trend
toward a growing proportion of the aged in the world population
will continue over the next few decades; (d) people over 80 now
represent the fa. stest growing sector in North America; (e) in the
elderly, general morbidity - and particularly morbidity of the
central nervous syste- is many times that in the younger
popUlation; (f) 5% of those over 65 years of age and 20% of those
over 80 suffer from some degree of dementia. A global tidal wave of
patients suf fering from Alzheimer's disease (or senile dementia)
is threat ening to engulf us by the year 2000. This disease, which
is, at our present state of knowledge, ir reversible, and other
age-related dementias are perhaps the most sinister forms of any
disability. They deprive their vic tims not only of their physical
capacities but also of their autonomy and their ability to think
and to make decisions for themselves. The future cost of
psychogeriatric diseases in terms of suffering for individuals,
stress for families, demand for manpower, and budgetary
requirements for governments could become astronomical."
