A new study predicts a nearly threefold increase in global dementia cases by 2050, with around 153 million people affected. Factors contributing to this rise include population growth, aging, and rising education levels, which could potentially reduce cases. However, other risk factors like obesity and air pollution are expected to worsen, adding an additional 7 million cases. The study emphasizes the urgent need for global strategies to prevent, manage, and care for people living with dementia.
