Angel’s Angle

Can you die from dementia? (From Internet Article)

Dementia is a terminal condition, but in many cases, it's complications which arise from

dementia that can shorten life. Conditions that cause dementia, such as Alzheimer’s

disease, vascular dementia or dementia with Lewy bodies are chronic and progressive.

This means they’ll get steadily worse. However, the rate at which this happens, and the

subsequent effect this could have on your life expectancy will depend on various factors.

These include the type of dementia you have, what caused it and your overall health and

lifestyle.

Is dementia terminal?

It’s important to remember that Alzheimer’s disease and dementias don’t just cause

memory loss, they damage the brain. The brain does everything for us – controls the heart,

the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract and your metabolism – as well as storing facts and

memories. This means that as your cognitive functions start to decline, so will your body’s

ability to stay well. Dementia will eventually affect the brain so much that it will be unable to

control other areas of the body and they will start to shut down. It's important to remember

that this is a gradual process that can take many years, but dementia is a terminal

condition. General life expectancy is 8 – 12 years from diagnosis.

How can you die from dementia?

In many cases, it's complications which arise from dementia that can shorten life. A 2009

study found these include:

Respiratory system disease 45.8%

(to include bronchopneumonia & aspiration pneumonia)

Circulatory system disease 37.54%

(to include heart disease & stroke)

Other causes 6.5%

(including traumatic falls, infection, body/muscle wastage, specific infections)

Digestive system disease 4.2%

Cancer 3.8%

Genitourinary system disease 2.3%

(e.g. UTIs)

Despite this, dementia is not always put on the death certificate as the reason for passing

away. More to follow in the July Newsletter.
