Global dementia cases will TRIPLE by 2050 unless people adopt healthier lifestyles, study warns Dementia cases will triple by 2050 unless people adopt healthier lifestyles and education improves, a major study suggests.

Experts warn of a potential dementia time bomb, with 153million living with the condition worldwide within decades.
