Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementia diagnoses are very prevalent in Canada. Approximately 733,040 people in Canada are currently living with dementia, and that number is estimated to grow to nearly 1 million Canadians by 2030. (1) AD is the most common type of dementia, an overall term for conditions that cause problems with memory, thinking and behaviour. In the early stage, dementia symptoms may be minimal, but as the disease causes more damage to the brain, symptoms worsen. The rate at which the disease progresses is different for everyone, but on average, people with AD live for roughly eight years after symptoms begin.
