New research suggests that the risk for developing dementia is significantly higher than previously estimated, and the burden on the United States population will grow substantially over the next few decades.

KTVU's Alex Savidge and Greg Lee sit down with Dr. Han Lee, Neurologist at Kaiser Permanente to talk about the latest findings on dementia and the increasing risk of developing the disease.

Dementia is a term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with the decline of the brain's abilities and it affects more than 6 million people in the US.
