Watching the BBC breakfast show this morning

Today's program was dedicated to dementia and dementia care. Bill Turnbull interviewed Rebecca Wood, Alzheimer's Research Trust, who pledged for more funding for dementia research. They would like to understand more about the development of the disease and forms of prevention. The number of people affected by dementia has increased significantly in the recent years.
I heard Rebecca Wood saying "Age is the biggest risk in getting dementia".

Whilst she might be very right with what she said I feel that with a statement like this it's more likely that we all fear getting older !

Here is this article to read about the numbers (Note: the quote is not repeated in here!)
