| Abstract: | Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally. Currently more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in cognitive function beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing. Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not an inevitable consequence of ageing. There is often a lack of awareness and understanding of dementia, resulting in stigmatization and barriers to diagnosis and care.AIM: The study aims to assess the knowledge on dementia among older adults (40- 50 yrs).OBJECTIVES:1.To assess the knowledge on dementia among older adults (40-50 yrs).2.To associate the level of knowledge on dementia among older adults with their selected demographic variables.METHODS: Quantitative research design was used.

The knowledge on dementia was assessed by self structured questionnaires comprising of 25 questions.
