Geographic Distribution and Future Projections of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Greece: Analysis from 1991 to 2050
Given that each person with dementia typically requires care from at least two caregivers over time, these projections highlight the profound impact the dementia epidemic will have on Greece. The heatmaps developed in this study can serve as valuable tools for policymakers in designing and implementing clinical care programs tailored to the needs of each region based on the projected burden of disease.
