Dementia often has more than one cause. Alzheimer's is the most common single cause, accounting for roughly 60% of dementia cases. Lewy body dementia is less common but far from rare: about 10% of cases, or roughly 1.5 million people in the U.S.

But as neurologist Dr. James E. Galvin explains, many researchers now think mixed dementia may be the most common form of all.
