The term Dementia is derived from Latin stock, meaning without mind. According to DSM fourth edition, text revision, dementia refers to multiple cognitive deficits that involves memory impairment, and one or more of the following, viz. language disturbance (aphasia), impairment in carrying out skilled motor activities despite intact motor functions (apraxia), deficits in recognizing familiar persons or object despite intact sensory function (agnosia), impairment in planning, initiating, organizing, and abstract reasoning (executive dysfunction).
DSM-5 replaced the term dementia with neurocognitive disorder, which has further been categorized major or minor depending upon the needs of assistance for daily activities. It also obviated the need of memory impairment to qualify the definition of the disorder.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and accounts for nearly 60-70% of all cases. As per a current estimate AD affects over 35 million people worldwide.
Vascular dementia (VaD), Fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), Corticobasal degeneration (CBGD), Diffuse lewy body dementia (DLBD) etc. are other important forms of dementia.
Age is perhaps the most important risk factor, as prevalence rate doubles every five years after age 65. Other important risk factors are postmenopausal women, lower intelligence, fewer year of education, traumatic brain injury, and many medical and psychiatric conditions eg. Diabetes, hypertension, stroke, MI, dyslipidemia, obesity, chronic stress, depression etc. There are some genetic risk factors also like Presenilin 1&2, APP, APOE genes etc.
