- Title
Searching For Tornadoes: The Upcoming Dementia Crisis in New Brunswick.
- Authors
Strain, Frank
- Abstract
This study demonstrates the importance of geography and demography in discussions of dementia in New Brunswick. The aging baby boom generation combined with increasing life expectancy will result in a doubling of dementia cases over the next twenty years. During the same period, the prime age population in many parts of the province will decline as a result of the outmigration of the province's youth. The prime age population plays an important role in both the diagnosis of dementia and the delivering of home care. This article argues that policy responses must not only take into account the increase in dementia cases and the decline in the prime age population but also the significant regional demographic and socioeconomic differences across the province.
