Dementia affects around 500,000 Vietnamese aged above 60, accounting for 5% of the population in the age group, while more young people have it too.

 

At a Tuesday conference on preventing dementia and motor impairment among elderly people, Nguyen Trong Luu, deputy chairman of Vietnam Rehabilitation Association, said dementia results from brain damage, with memory decline as a signature sign. It is not a normal consequence of aging, but actually stems from numerous conditions and injuries that mainly affect the brain, he added.

 

"Dementia can be seen in multiple conditions, the most common one being Alzheimer, which account for 60-80% of all patients," said Luu.
