Abstract

Dementia is one of the most prevalent diseases in the older population. Some studies have highlighted the importance of early screening in the aged population for the timely diagnosis. On the other hand, the numbers analyzed still demonstrate a poor aptitude of the doctors involved in dealing with the early diagnosis of dementia at the forefront, with a potential diagnostic delay that generates lengthening of both the waiting lists and the timing of the start of treatments, with relapses on patient health and on the effectiveness of the treatments themselves. Greater awareness of the topic is needed through knowledge of the phenomenon as well as a larger number of studies conducted directly on the Territory.
