Summary

The purpose of this article is to present project of the Czech Alzheimer Society aiming at early diagnosis of dementia. More than 2000 people have undergone a memory examination since June 2008; more than 40% of them were recommended to visit a specialist. Majority of the examined people signed an informed consent with using data from their examinations for scientific purpose. The project is therefore a very important source of gerontological data.
