The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

The first time Chen Shaohua went missing and was picked up by police, the 68-year-old’s family put it down to confusion.“We missed the early signs,” daughter Chen Yuanyuan explained, adding: “For several years our mother complained he was lying… but we couldn’t judge because we haven’t lived with them for years.”

As the country’s population is rapidly aging, this figure is expected to soar to 40 million by 2050, according to a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. And while this is a growing problem worldwide — experts say China is poorly prepared for the challenge. “It is the fastest-growing major illness on the mainland, and we are not at all equipped to deal with it.”When Chen started misplacing his keys or wallet, his family thought it was just forgetfulness.
