World Alzheimer's Day, September 21, is a day when Alzheimer's
associations around the world concentrate their efforts on raising
awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Currently
there are more than 26 million people across the world living
with Alzheimer’s and that number will quadruple by 2050.
World Alzheimer's Day was first launched on September 21, 1994,
at the Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) conference as
part of the 10th anniversary celebration.
World Alzheimer's Day provides an opportunity for the Alzheimer's
Association and other organizations around the globe to unify
effort to raise awareness about the disease and its impact on
families and to rally people to get involved.
