Under embargo until 2 September at 12 p.m. (noon) Global status report on the public health response to dementia This comprehensive report details the progress made in the public health response to dementia since the publication of WHO’s Global Dementia Action Plan in 2017. The report contains the latest available data on dementia prevalence and the societal costs of the condition. It also takes stock of progress and ongoing challenges reported by countries in areas such as diagnosis, treatment and care, carer support, and research and innovation. Currently more than 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide. More than 60% of them live in low- and middle- income countries. The number of people living with dementia is expected to increase to 78 million by 2030. The embargo on the report will lift at 12:00 (midday) Geneva time on 2 September 2021. For a copy of the report under embargo please send an email to Alison Brunier at bruniera@who.int and mediainquiries@who.int
