Abstract: The overall health of the US population has been improving for the last 100 years. People are living longer although healthcare disparities continue. By 2050, the number of US adults over 40 living with dementia is projected to increase from 5.2 million people to 10.5 million, according to The Lancet published in January 2022. The number of people with dementia will be nearly tripling globally. Dementia is an escalated cost in healthcare, social welfare and emotional and financial burdens to the caregivers.
