Dementia is the most troublesome disease that humanity will have to deal with in the future, and many studies have been proposed regarding post-onset care methods, both drug and non-drug, with many reports of the results. Recently, there has been growing recognition of the importance of primary prevention, which is preventing the onset of dementia before it actually occurs.
This paper warns that, based on global demographic trends, the risk of dementia will hit developing countries in the future, and that the rapid aging rates in South Korea, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore in Asia will cause social problems.
Dementia prevention techniques can be broadly divided into therapy techniques and techniques for assessing their effectiveness. Therapy techniques can be further divided into therapies related to daily lifestyle habits and therapies that directly stimulate the brain. Each of these techniques will be introduced in this article.
Next, we will discuss the CKPT, an economic neuropsychological test used to assess the effectiveness of therapy, in comparison with the MMSE.
Finally a practical result for dementia prevention using CKPT which is applied to the persons over 60 years old working at a concrete product maker is shown.
