520 0 _a[This book] takes an insightful look at dementia by using a behavioural definition and explaining how the symptoms can affect daily life, rather than just using the medical definition. It examines the causality of dementia interventions to establish their effectiveness, dealing with the risk factors and expanding the current list of interventions. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth three-step procedure for evaluating the monetary benefits of those interventions to establith whether these are socially worthwhile.
