Sammanfattning
During the next ten years the number of demented patients will increase, from approximately 79,000 in 2003 to approximately 94,000 in 2013. New diagnostic procedures (brain imaging and examination of cerebrospinal fluid) are expected to become standard procedures within a few years, thus establishing the possibility of making a precise diagnosis at an early stage. New treatment strategies will increase the need for specialist treatment. There will be an increased demand for postgraduate education of general practitioners, geriatricians, neurologists, and psychiatrists.
