THE Dementia Alliance of Malaysia, together with the undersigned associations, welcomes the release yesterday of the 2025 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) by the Health Ministry.
We are deeply concerned by the finding that 10% of Malaysians aged 60 years and above are now living with dementia. This represents a significant increase from the 8.5% prevalence of probable dementia among older persons recorded in the 2018 NHMS.
