Abstract

Co-/multi-morbidities are prevalent in the elderly. Some noteworthy examples include the elderly with dementia, for example, elderly with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia and vascular dementia diagnoses. Based on high prevalence rates, the elderly with dementia is likely to experience more than one disease. Usual co-/multi-morbidities in the elderly with dementia are epilepsy, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. For this reason, healthcare providers are tremendously challenged with demands for treatment and therapy plans to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of the elderly and their families. This Chapter discusses these co-/multi-morbidities and aims to inspire the translation of this knowledge into specialised services and therapy plans for the elderly.
