The World Alzheimer Report 2024, titled Global changes in attitudes to dementia offers a unique, global perspective on changing attitudes toward dementia, featuring a blend of insightful essays, real-life case studies, and impactful research findings. The report also sheds light on how knowledge, perceptions, and behaviours towards dementia have changed over the past five years.
The report delves into the results of an international survey analysed by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), consisting of more than 40,000 responses from people living with dementia, carers, health and care practitioners, and the general public from over 166 countries and territories. The survey is a follow-up to ADI’s landmark 2019 Attitudes to dementia survey, and explores how perceptions of dementia have – or haven’t – changed in the span of five years.
