The purpose of this article is to review the research progress on fear of dementia， and to provide references for clinical treatment and nursing care. Fear of dementia is a widespread problem for adults， and adults with high degrees of fear were more likely to develop adverse psychological consequences， including aggravation of anxiety and depression， decreased inclination toward health-promoting behaviours， avoidance of medical treatment， and suicidal ideation.

Therefore， this article gives a review on the fear of dementia in terms of its concept， incidence， impact， influencing factors， assessment tools and intervention measures， with a view to provide a reference for the subsequent studies.
