Abstract: Dementia is one of the key health and social challenges of the 21st century. Due to demographic change, the prevalence is increasing significantly worldwide. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), over 55 million people are currently living with dementia, and this figure is expected to rise to 139 million by 2050. The disease not only challenges the medical and care system, but also has far-reaching socio-economic and ethical implications.
