“By 2050, almost one out of every four people who develop dementia in Canada will be of Asian origin, a 785 per cent increase from 2020, says a report released this week by the Alzheimer Society of Canada. The report, based on modelling by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis, says the overall number of people living with dementia is projected to rise to one million by 2030, nearly triple the current amount. It focuses on the diversity of people who will be developing dementia as the population ages, and the need for services to be tailored for various racialized groups.”
