According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of September 2021, more than 55 million people are living with dementia worldwide, and there are approximately 10 million new cases every year. Dementia is caused by various diseases and injuries that affect the brain. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia and may comprise 60% to 70% of the total dementia cases.
