Part 5/10:

Japan faces a significant dementia crisis, with over 6 million individuals affected by the condition as of 2020. This number is projected to climb to 7 million by 2025, reflecting the rapid aging of the population—one in five older adults living with dementia. With over 36 million citizens aged over 65 in 2020, and projections indicating that this demographic will constitute more than 38% by 2065, the aging population presents both societal and healthcare challenges.
