Description
Cleusa P Ferri published a report in 2025 on dementia in Brazil and the country's public health response. Working with the health ministry, Ferri helped produce two national reports on the scale of the problem. Brazil is aging fast, and most regions lack even basic counts of who lives with dementia.
The reports estimate about two and a half million Brazilians live with dementia, and roughly eighty percent are never diagnosed. Families carry nearly three quarters of the total cost through unpaid care. Research clusters in the rich southeast and focuses on causes more than on care. A national law has passed the Senate, and the report urges stronger local plans.
