The present and future of China's dementia / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

At present, the prevalence and incidence of dementia in China are high, bringing heavy economic burden to society and families. At the same time, the level of diagnosis and treatment of dementia varies greatly from hospital to hospital. Although there has been great progress in recent years, it still can not completely meet the clinical needs. In terms of treatment, it is symptomatic treatment at present, and multi-target intervention is needed in the future. In view of the problems and shortcomings in the diagnosis and treatment of dementia in China, the authors put forward their own views and suggestions on the future research strategies.
