Abstract：Against the backdrop of accelerated global aging,the prevalence of dementia among elderly populations has witnessed a persistent upward trajectory,presenting distinctive challenges in end-of-life palliative care.This study conducts a systematic analysis of the current landscape of dementia palliative care in China,with particular emphasis on three critical dimensions:communication barriers,caregiver burden,and nutritional management difficulties.In response to these challenges,we propose a tripartite intervention framework encompassing optimized symptom management protocols,implementation of advance care planning,and refinement of legal policy frameworks.These evidence-based strategies aim to achieve dual objectives:enhancing quality of life for dementia patients while mitigating caregiver strain.The findings provide a substantive reference point for future policy formulation and clinical practice development in dementia palliative care.
