Dementia

Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual.
Dementia l: Introduction01:22

Dementia l: Introduction

Dementia is an acquired, progressive syndrome characterized by a decline in multiple cognitive domains severe enough to impair daily functioning and reduce independence. Although memory loss is a central feature, the diagnosis requires additional deficits involving language, executive function, visuospatial skills, judgment, calculation, or abstract reasoning. These cognitive impairments reflect underlying neurodegenerative or vascular processes that gradually disrupt neuronal networks...
Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction01:29

Alzheimer Disease l: Introduction

Alzheimer disease is a chronic, progressive, and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in older adults. It leads to gradual neuronal loss, causing cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of functional independence.Risk Factors and EtiologyThe disease is multifactorial. Age is the strongest risk factor, with prevalence doubling every 5 years after age 65. Genetic factors include mutations in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, which are associated...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health Policy
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Korea faces rapid population aging, increasing the social burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
  • Existing universal health and long-term care systems provide a foundation for dementia care innovation.
  • The social and economic impact of ADRD in Korea requires strategic mitigation efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review Korean studies and policies on dementia care over 25 years.
  • To analyze the social burden and costs associated with ADRD in Korea.
  • To evaluate pilot programs for integrated community and palliative dementia care.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods review of quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Analysis of administrative and comparative data on dementia care.
  • Examination of policies and pilot program outcomes.

Main Results:

  • ADRD costs are projected to rise from 0.9% to 3.8% of GDP between 2019 and 2050.
  • Pilot integrated community care and hospice palliative care programs show potential benefits.
  • Challenges remain in program design for early detection, integrated care, and palliative support.

Conclusions:

  • Korea's aging society presents significant challenges for dementia care.
  • Leveraging national insurance systems can drive innovation in dementia care.
  • Further research is needed on program quality and integrated care models for home- and community-based services.
