On June 19–20, 2023, Edinburgh, Scotland will be held the 17th Alzheimer's disease and Dementia Conference. At this conference, there will be scholars, delegates, and presenters from all around the world. This conference aims to increase public awareness.
Alzheimer’s disease
A degenerative neurological condition called Alzheimer's disease results in the death of brain cells and shrinkage of the brain. The most common cause of dementia, which is characterized by a persistent decline in mental, behavioral and social abilities and impairs a person's ability to function independently, is Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease affects over 5.8 million Americans aged 65 and older. Globally, between 60% and 70% of the 50 million dementia sufferers have Alzheimer's patients. Early symptoms of the disease include forgetting past events or experiences. The memory of a person with Alzheimer's disease is severely impaired and the condition worsens and the ability to perform basic functions is lost.
Dementia
A set of symptoms that considerably hinder memory, thinking, and interactive abilities are called dementia when they significantly disrupt everyday working. Although there is no one particular disease that causes dementia, many diseases can be. Although memory loss is a common symptom of dementia, there are many different reasons why it could occur. Memory loss alone does not indicate dementia, despite the fact that it is often one of the first signs of the disease. Although there are several additional causes of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent one in older persons.

Market Analysis
According to statistics, someone in the world acquires dementia every three seconds. According to the WHO, there were about 55 million dementia sufferers worldwide in 2021, and that figure is expected to rise every 20 years. Additionally, dementia is the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. The condition currently affects roughly 5.00 million individuals in India, with a potential increase to 14 million by 2050.
Elders must have a basic understanding of dementia, be aware of the disease's early symptoms, understand what can be done to prevent it, and be in the know because dementia is extremely frequent in seniors and the likelihood of developing it rises with age above 60.
