| Annotation | On 21 September 2009, World Alzheimer's Day, Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) released the World Alzheimer Report 2009, which presents the latest global figures indicating the scale of dementia. The report is the most comprehensive global prevalence study of dementia to date and looks at levels of mortality, disability, strain on carers and dependency. The report also offers examples of good national dementia plans and information on health service responses. Importantly, the report also includes eight recommendations that will provide a global framework for action on dementia. Additional materials that accompany the report are available to download from the ADI website (at http://www.alz.co.uk/research/worldreport/). (KJ/RH). |
