Nearly half of UK adults can’t name a single type of dementia
Stat revealed as charity campaign sheds light on diseases behind the condition
Ricoh Europe, London, 19 November 2019 - A new UK-wide poll commissioned by Alzheimer’s Research UK has revealed that nearly half (46%) of UK adults are unable to name a single type of dementia. The survey, carried out by YouGov for the UK’s leading dementia research charity, showed that while 43% of people were able to name Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia, many could not name any other forms of the condition. Under one in four (24%) could name vascular dementia – the second most common type of dementia – and just one in 20 (5%) could name dementia with Lewy bodies.
