Celebrate World Alzheimer’s Day | September 21, 2025
? What are we celebrating?
- World Alzheimer’s Day aims to raise awareness and to challenge the stigma that persists around people living with Alzheimer’s and all types of dementia.
- Alzheimer’s or dementia is not normal part of ageing. More than 55 million people around the world live with this health condition. In Malaysia alone, about 8.5% of the elderly population is living with dementia.
? Theme for this year
This year, the World Alzheimer’s Day 2025 theme is to promote greater awareness and understanding of dementia, encouraging everyone to ask about dementia. With the hashtags #AskAboutDementia and #AskAboutAlzheimers, every participation will contribute to changing public perceptions and normalising asking questions to learn more about this health condition.
