The answer is 50 percent.

Explanation for each option:

  • 10 percent: This is too low. Constipation is a common issue among individuals with dementia due to factors like reduced physical activity, medication side effects, and dietary changes.

  • 25 percent: While this is a more reasonable estimate than 10 percent, it still underestimates the prevalence of constipation in people with dementia.

  • 50 percent: This is the correct answer. Studies and clinical observations suggest that about half of individuals with dementia experience constipation, which can lead to discomfort and complications such as bloating, nausea, and difficulty eating.

  • 80 percent: This is too high. Although constipation is common, it does not affect the vast majority of individuals with dementia to this extent.
