$30 million boost to dementia research

due to projected increases in spending, particularly in the areas of health, age pensions and aged care.

The projections also show that by 2047, Australia's total population will be 28.5 million, 38 per cent larger than June 2006. At the same time, the proportion of people aged 65 and over is projected to nearly double to 25 per cent of the population. The proportion aged 85 or over is projected to triple to 5.6 per cent of the population. The pace of ageing of the population is projected to quicken after 2010, as the baby boomer generation starts to reach age 65.

"It is clear there is no time to lose if we are to tackle the dementia epidemic. As baby boomers enter the age of greatest risk, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias will become the public health crisis of the 21st century," Professor Schofield concluded.
