Canadian Study of Health and Aging More on the Prevalence of Dementia Prevalence continues to rise beyond age 85; by 105 years of age almost 85% of people have dementia (Ebly et al., 1994)Prevalence continues to rise beyond age 85; by 105 years of age almost 85% of people have dementia (Ebly et al., 1994) Hogan et al. (1996) described physiologic changes as dementia progresses; these are similar for AD and vascular dementia.Hogan et al.

About half of those with dementia live in the community and half in institutions (CSHA, 1994)About half of those with dementia live in the community and half in institutions (CSHA, 1994) For almost two-thirds of those with dementia in the community, their dementia has not been formally diagnosed (Sternberg et al., 2000)For almost two-thirds of those with dementia in the community, their dementia has not been formally diagnosed (Sternberg et al., 2000)
