Typically, dementia is seen as an elderly person's disorder. It generally affects those who are above age 65 or so. "Early onset" dementia refers to cases where people in their 50s or 60s are affected. There have been cases where people are diagnosed as young as their 30s but those are extraordinarily rare occurrences.
