LATE dementia on the rise
Feb. 11
Just recently, a new type of dementia has been on the rise. It is called LATE dementia, which is short for Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy.
According to guidelines, LATE dementia is now estimated to affect about a third of people aged 85 years or older, and ten percent of those 65 and older.
Dr. Amit Shah, a geriatrician, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about this new type of dementia.
