A new study predicts a staggering threefold increase in global dementia cases by 2050, with the number of people living with the condition potentially rising from 57 million to 153 million. The increase is largely due to population growth and aging populations, with countries in North Africa and the Middle East projected to see the largest percentage increase. However, the research also highlights positive trends, such as the potential for improved education and healthcare to reduce dementia cases. The findings emphasize the urgent need for governments and health organizations to develop strategies to address this growing public health concern.
