摘要

According to the latest government population projections, more than a third of the population will be aged ≥65 years by 2046, with the number of adults aged ≥65 expected to increase from 1 190 000 in 2016 to 2 510 000 in 2046. The soaring elderly population will inevitably put extra strain on our overly stretched health care system, with dementia management being one of our biggest challenges.
