DEMENTIA is to blame

for one in eight deaths,

shocking figures

revealed yesterday.

Nearly 70,000 lives were lost

to the illness last year – 13 per

cent up on the 61,000 of 2015.
Experts warn the figure will keep

increasing because people are living

longer and conditions such as

Alzheimer’s are still untreatable.

The death rate highlights the

urgency of a Daily Mail campaign

to end a scandal in which countless

sufferers have to sell their homes to

pay for care. More than 850,

Britons have dementia, a progressive

disease that kills by damaging the

brains of victims.

The Office for National Statistics

said the illness was responsible for

12.8 per cent of the 541,589 regis-

tered deaths in England and Wales

menopause that really
