It's never too early to check someone you love for dementia. In the UK alone, 78,000 people under 65 live with 'young onset dementia'. There have been cases as young as 32. It is also possible to detect dementia up to nine years before it is typically diagnosed. However, after the age of 65, the probability of dementia increases rapidly from 1 in 100, for ages 65 to 69, to 1 in 5 for ages 85 to 89. Given these facts, we suggest that a sensible testing rate for your loved ones is once a year below 60, twice a year from 60 to 70, and four times per year from 70 upwards. In total, 500 thousand people in the UK have a dementia diagnosis and one million people are estimated to live with dementia. Women make up 65% of dementia sufferers, while 35% are men. It is the leading cause of death for women and the second leading cause of death for men. Sign up here to use our app to test you loved ones for dementia.
