March 2015 the hard Numbers: Currently, about 47.5 million people worldwide suffer from one of the various dementia forms will be added, and it is estimated that 28 million patients within the next 15 years. The WHO believes that it will be in the year 2030 already 75.6 million, and in 2050 even 135.5 million people suffering from an incurable memory loss.
