Resumen:

Dementia has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a public health problem since 2012 (WHO, 2012). According to estimates from the World Alzheimer Report from Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), in 2015, 46.8 million people worldwide had dementia, a number that is expected to increase to 74.7 million by 2030 and 131.5 million by 2050. Of the world total of cases with dementia in 2050, the majority (two thirds) will be concentrated in lower- and middle-income countries (LMIC) (Prince et al., 2015a). © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
