One of the main risks of developing dementia is age and dementia usually affects people over the age of 65, however some people develop dementia much younger, known as young-onset dementia.

Young-onset dementia, also known as early-onset dementia or working age dementia, refers to people whose symptoms start before the age of 65. In cases where the symptoms start after the age of 65, it is known as late-onset dementia.

More people and organisations prefer to use the term young-onset or working age dementia to early-onset dementia to avoid confusion with the early stages of dementia generally.
