[Comment] Progress on dementia —leaving no one behind

The Lancet Commission Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care1 makes a timely evidence-driven contribution to global efforts to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers, and limit the future impact on societies. The Commission proposes ambitious prevention targets, treatment of cognitive symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia with Lewy bodies, individualised dementia care, provision of care for carers, planning for the future for patients and families, risk protection balanced with respect for autonomy, management of neuropsychiatric symptoms, consideration of dementia in end of life care, and use of technological innovations to improve care but not replace social contact.
