The issue of dementia is assuming a relevance in term of public health and for dimension of the problem and for the impact for the health systems. In Italy, it estimates that there are about 1.000.000 cases with dementia and 3.000.000 familiars involved in the assistence. This number probably will be at least double in the next thirty years. Physicians (neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, general practitioner), psychologists, rehabilitationists and socio-health assistants are professionally involved in the management of patients affected by dementia.

The aim of convention is that to supply a national picture on research activity and socio-health assistance from this specialistic clinical centre and to promote a integrated management of different competences.
