| Popis: | Predictions suggest that by 2051, six per cent of the total population will be aged over 85 years, representing approximately 1.8 million Australians [1]. This is a significant figure, as the incidence of dementia increases with age. Already, in 2002 over 162 000 Australians had diagnosed dementia, equal to 0.8% of the population, most of whom are female and older than 75 years [2].
