Dementia has been defined as a syndrome characterised by the development of multiple cognitive deficits including at least one of the following: aphasia, apraxia, agnosia or a disturbance of executive functioning (Cummings and Khachaturian, 1999).

The chance of having the condition rises with age to 1 person in 20 over the age of 65, and 1 person in 5 over the age of 80 (ADI, 2004).
