FTD affects people aged 21-80, with the largest percentage between 45-64 years old, significantly impacting their ability to work and function normally. The disease has an average life expectancy of 7-13 years after symptom onset and imposes care costs approximately double those of Alzheimer's disease. FTD represents 5-15% of all dementia cases and is the most common form of dementia for people under 60.
