Dementia and Alzheimer?s disease have risen from the 24th leading cause of death in the UK to the 10th in the last 20 years according to a study published in The Lancet today (Tuesday 5 March 2013).

The study is a UK-specific analysis of worldwide data published late last year as the Global Burden of Disease and looks into how the UK is performing on a number of public health outcomes.
