Resumo |
Over the past forty years, significant research has been conducted on the epidemiology of late onset dementia. Less is known however, about the prevalence, incidence and burden of illness of early onset dementia (occurring prior to 65 years of age). The purpose of this narrative review is to examine existing literature regarding the experiences and implications of living with early onset dementia for patients, caregivers, and family members. The following questions were addressed: (1) What is the impact of early onset dementia on patients, families and carers? and; (2) What are the needs of patients with early onset dementia and their family and carers? Key findings form this review are presented. |
