The report is based upon the future prediction of dementia and by using predicted future
statistics, study will analyse the impact of predicted increase in number of people with dementia

Impact of the predicted increase in numbers of people with dementia in Australia
Dementia is a decline In memory and other cognitive functions that leads a disability in
