Le dùil gun dùblaich an àireamh sin thar an ath 20 bliadhna, is sluagh na h-Alba a' sìor fhàs nas sine, bheir seargadh-inntinn buaidh oirnn uile ann an dòigh air choireigin. Ged a tha e nas cumanta ann an daoine nas sine, tha e cuideachd a' toirt buaidh air daoine nan 40an agus nan 50an, agus fiù 's nas òige.

In Scotland, around 80,000 people have dementia. With this number expected to double in the next 20 years due to the country's ageing population, dementia is something that will affect us all in one way or another. While it's most common in older people, it can also affect people in their 40s or 50s or even younger.
