    <p style='text-align:justify'>Neurodegenerative disorders are one of the major public health problems and leads to 
    psychological as well as economic burden on the caregivers and nation. The World Health 
    Organization (WHO) estimates that 15 percent of the world&apos;s population are mentally disabled 
    with dementia, memory loss, anxiety, and stress related disorders. Dementia is one of the 
    leading contributors of disability in the elderly among all the neuropsychiatric conditions.</p>
    <p style='text-align:justify'> Alzheimer disease, the most common cause of dementia among older adults, is a brain disorder 
    that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and eventually, the ability to carry out the 
    simplest tasks. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning and behavioral abilities, and it 
    adversely impacts person&apos;s daily life and activities. Dementia ranges from the mild to the most 
    severe stage. The causes and stages of dementia (Alzheimer's disease) varies from person to 
    person. Beyond genetics, there are numerous other factors involving health, environment, and 
    lifestyle diseases</p>
    <p style='text-align:justify'>India is currently undergoing through demographic transition phase wherein the aged 
    population is rapidly growing. Mental health conditions of elderly play a significant role in their 
    morbidity and premature mortality. In India, 5 out of every 100 elderly people have dementia 
    and many more are at high risk. The nutritious diet, physical activities, social engagements, and 
    mentally stimulating pursuits have all been associated with helping people to stay healthy as 
    they are ageing and it might also help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. </p>
