“…As aging progresses, the risk of this diagnosis increases. It is a progressive neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by a cognitive decline that limits social functions and activities of daily living (24). In addition to having an important impact on the quality of life of these people, dementia was also shown to be a risk factor for mortality in elderly people with Covid-19.…”

“…2 A estimativa de prevalência de declínio cognitivo (20,7%) encontrada neste estudo foi semelhante à de outros estudos realizados no Brasil, utilizando-se o MEEM. Confortin et al 16 desenvolveram uma pesquisa com 1.197 idosos, acima de 60 anos da cidade de Florianópolis, e encontraram prevalência de declínio cognitivo de 24,7% na amostra. Ribeiro et al 17 estudaram 736 idosos com idade igual ou superior a 67 anos, da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e estimaram a prevalência de declínio cognitivo em 29,2% da amostra.…”

“…Another factor to be stressed is the fact that dementia diseases often do not directly lead to hospitalization and even death, since the underlying disease often exposes the patient's health, thus causing infectious conditions, for example. Dementia syndrome often takes time to be detected and diagnosed, thus producing even greater expenses due to the severity progression of the disease 3,7,9,11 . It is thus evident the need for funding to public programs for the dementia syndrome, aiming at the proper diagnosis, treatment and care and the search for cost reduction.…”
