Hundreds of neighborhood dementia diagnostic centers have been created. Nursing homes have tripled nearly since 2008. Other dementia programs
providing day care and home care, have increased fivefold since 2008, to nearly 20,000. Care is subsidized heavily. And a government dementia database allows families to register relatives
and receive iron-on identification numbers. Citizens encountering wanderers with dementia report their numbers to officials, who contact families.
To finance this, South korea created a long-term-care insurance system, paid for with 6. 6 percent increases in people national health insurance premiums.
In 2009, about $1 billion of government and public insurance money was spent on dementia patients.
dementia is straining the country, socially and economically. t least one family member has to give up workto provide caregiving,

Dementia Epidemic South korea is at the forefront of a worldwide eruption of dementia from about 30 million estimated cases now to an estimated 100 million in 2050.
South korea also worries that dementia, previously stigmatized as host-seeingor ne second childhoodcould ilute respect for elders,
So the authorities promote the notion that filial piety implies doing everything possible for elders with dementia,
saying that it destigmatizes dementia and that patients who egress to earlier daysmay ind it easier to relate to young children.

'There is currently a lack of effective treatments for dementia and understanding the effect of genes can be a key early step on the road to developing new drugs.'

#Three-minute test detects common form of dementia that's hard to diagnose Although Lewy Body disease (LBD) is the second-most-common degenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease,

and gold standard measures of cognition, motor symptoms, function and behavior. The test was administered in a"real-world"clinic setting with patients who were referred from the community rather than in a research sample.
The clinic sample had a mixture of gender education, comorbidities, behavioral, affective, motor symptoms, and diagnoses.
"Most patients never receive an evaluation by a neurologist skilled in the diagnosis of Lewy body dementia,
"Early detection of Lewy body dementias will be important to enable future interventions at the earliest stages
Galvin has led efforts to develop a number of dementia screening tools, including the Quick Dementia Rating system (QDRS), AD8,
a brief informant interview to translate research findings to community settings. He has done cross-cultural validation of dementia screening methods in comparison with Gold standard clinical evaluations and biomarker assays.
His team also has developed sophisticated statistical models to explore transition points in clinical cognitive, functional, behavioral and biological markers of disease in healthy aging, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer disease,

#Blood test to Detect Alzheimer Disease Close to Development Early detection presents new opportunities to slow or perhaps even halt disease progression.
The plaques found in some forms of dementia, for example, have more elasticity than normal brain tissue the new technique might be able to detect those differences.
Late-onset AD is the most common form of dementia affecting an estimated 30 million persons worldwide--a number that is expected to quadruple over the next 40 years.
"Delaying dementia onset by even just two years could potentially lower the worldwide prevalence of AD by more than 22 million cases over the next four decades,
