flag Dementia cases in Canada are rising sharply, with women and Asian communities most affected, and experts urge action on systemic inequities and young-onset cases.

flag Dementia affects over 650,000 Canadians, with cases projected to rise sharply, reaching nearly 1 million by 2030 and increasing 187% by 2050. flag Women are disproportionately affected, making up two-thirds of cases, while the Asian population is expected to represent one in four people with dementia by mid-century. flag Risk varies across communities due to factors like ethnicity, race, sex, gender, and age. flag A new report by the Alzheimer Society of Canada underscores the need to address systemic issues such as colonization and racism, and calls for greater support for young onset dementia, which can affect individuals in their 20s and 30s.
