Cognitive disorder
Early onset dementia is
dementia in which symptoms first appear before the age of 65.
[1] The term favored until about 2000 was presenile dementia ; young onset dementia is also used.

Early onset dementia may be caused by
degenerative or
vascular disease , or it may be due to other causes, such as
alcohol-related dementia and other inflammatory or infectious processes.
[1]
Early-onset Alzheimer's disease ,
vascular dementia and
frontotemporal lobar degeneration are the most common forms of early onset dementia, with Alzheimer's accounting for between 30 and 40%.
[1] Early onset dementia may also occur, less frequently, in the
Lewy body dementias (
dementia with Lewy bodies and
Parkinson's disease dementia ),
multiple sclerosis ,
Huntington's disease and other conditions.
