Neue Befunde

Demenzerkrankungen zählen zu den häufigsten und folgenschwersten psychischen Störungen im Alter, für den Einzelnen, aber auch für die Solidargemeinschaft. Für Deutschland liegen die jährlichen Kosten aus gesamtgesellschaftlicher Perspektive (AgeCoDe-Studie) für leichte Demenzen bei 15 000 Euro, für mittelschwere Demenzen bei 32 000 Euro und bei schweren demenziellen Erkrankungen bei 42 000 Euro [1].

Aktuelle Hochrechnungen gehen davon aus, dass die Zahl Demenzkranker in Europa bis 2050 auf 14 Millionen steigen wird [2].
