The 26th "World Dementia Day" is coming, how much do you know about the causes of dementia

The number of dementia patients worldwide is about 52 million, and there is one new dementia patient every 3 seconds; the number of dementia patients in China has reached 10 million, and the number of family caregivers in China is about 40 million, while two-thirds of the families know little about it, and the annual social and economic burden caused by dementia in China reaches 1,200 billion. So, how do we properly face "dementia"?

  On September 21, the 26th World Dementia Day, our hospital will hold a lecture to introduce dementia-related knowledge. On the day of the event, there will be consultation services and small gifts (first come, first served, while supplies last).
