Dementia is 'ticking time bomb' says sufferer from Cardiff

The number of people living with dementia is levelling off in parts of western Europe, a report says.

The University of Cambridge study shows the proportion of elderly people with the condition in the UK has fallen, contrary to predictions that cases would soar.

Improvements in health and levels of education might be protecting people from the disease, the scientists said.

Charities warned there was no guarantee the improvements would continue.

Mary Thomas, from Cardiff, who suffers from early on-set dementia, spoke to BBC Radio Wales.
