188 'officially diagnosed' with Dementia in VI- Hon Vincent O. Wheatley
In his message for World Alzheimer’s Month, Hon Wheatley said through the National Health Insurance (NHI) database, the Virgin Islands Alzheimer’s Association found that 188 persons in the Virgin Islands have been officially diagnosed with Dementia.
He added that data statistics from Alzheimer’s Disease International estimate that, worldwide, 75 percent of Dementia cases go undiagnosed.
“Therefore, it can be reasonably estimated that the number of persons living with Dementia in the territory goes above 300,” Hon Wheatley reasoned.
Never too early, never too late…
The Health Minister remined that there is no current cure for Alzheimer’s Disease and given the current statistics, and local data, now more than ever we as the community must use this year’s theme “as a guiding principle for our perception of Alzheimer’s Disease in the Virgin Islands.”
This year’s theme for World Alzheimer’s Month is ‘Never too early, never too late to reduce your risk for dementia’.
“We must examine all our personal risk factors and find different strategies to mitigate our risks,” Hon Wheatley said, as he listed some of the programmes in the Virgin Islands geared towards tackling Alzheimer’s.
