The Rising Tide Report, published in 2008, was the first study of its kind to highlight the growing challenge of dementia and to estimate the long-term burden of this disease on the health care and social service systems, on the lives of informal caregivers, and the Canadian economy. Given that over a decade has passed since the seminal work was published, this report revisits the analysis using updated literature estimates of the prevalence and incidence of dementia, along with the most recent relative risk data, for dementia in Canada and its provinces. In addition, the report expands upon the original to take a closer look at the relationship between ethnicity and dementia for both people with dementia and their informal caregivers.
