Amazing that 75% of people living with dementia in the world may be undiagnosed and 62% of doctors and nurses globally may still belief dementia is a normal party of ageing 😬

[Australian Dementia Research Forum 2025 @ADRF2025]

Some worrying statistics in the underdiagnosis and information management of dementia globally, with COVID-19 exacerbating an already complex diagnosis pathway. #ADRF2022 @PaolaBarbarino @AlzDisInt
