Abstract


The prevalence of patients suffering from cognitive disorders is growing over years. It has been estimated that, worldwide, 44 million people
lived with cognitive impairment in 2013 (Rest et al, 2015).
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects 19% of people age 65 and over. The majority about 45.5% of patients with MCI subsequently developed dementia (Lacour et al, 2016).
One in 10 people age 65 and older (10 percent) has Alzheimer’s dementia. The percentage of people with Alzheimer’s dementia increases with age: 3 percent of people age 65-74, 17 percent of people age 75-84, and 32 percent of people age 85 and older have Alzheimer’s dementia. (Kochanek et al, 2017)
Studies indicate that people age 65 and older survive an average of 4 to 8 years after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia, yet some live as long as 20 years with Alzheimer’s cited in (Todd et al, 2013)
