Alzheimer's disease is now one of the leading causes of death in the UK, a major study has found.
The disease shot up from the 24th most common cause to the 10th between 1990 and 2010, figures show. And it continues to be one of the fastest-rising causes of death in this country.
The study, published in the Lancet, is an analysis of worldwide data from late last year and shows how the UK is performing compared to 14 other European countries, Australia, Canada, Norway and the US.
