Evaluation of major national dementia policies and health‐care system preparedness for early medical action and implementation

Résumé

With population growth and aging, the number of people with dementia and related disorders will grow substantially in the years ahead, bringing with it significant societal, health-care, and economic challenges. Here, we analyze dementia policies of seven major countries in Asia/Pacific, Europe, and North America to identify opportunities for early actions to mitigate disease burden. We find that most countries are addressing this need by including a specific focus on early action in their national dementia strategies (five of seven countries), implementing public health initiatives for risk reduction, prevention, and early detection and diagnosis (six of seven countries); supporting enabling research for early detection and risk reduction (six of seven countries); and enacting a system for early, regular brain health screening (one of seven). We discuss risks and opportunities for integrating early action policies and conducting additional systematic research to understand the potential benefits and impacts of these policies.
