Self Check of Dementia

Dementia is a group of symptoms (syndromes) caused by various brain disorders, which may affect memory, thinking, behavior, and daily living ability. It is often misunderstood as the aging process, and the sooner it is treated, the better!

  • Phase 3 Moderate Dementia: Severe memory impairment and difficulty in daily life.
  • Phase 4 Severe Dementia: Unable to correctly recognize time and space, unable to take care of themselves in daily lives.

Dementia Risk Factors

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently the most widespread dementia globally, and "age" is the leading risk factor. When people are over 65, the risk of AD increases year by year, doubling every five years, so the prevention and treatment of AD are critical!
