 Purpose: This study examined the emotions associated with the development of dementia among the middle-aged or older adults living in community.

 Methods: A qualitative descriptive research method was adopted in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews from 13 middle-aged or older adults who belonged to several clubs.

 Results: The participants were six men and seven women aged 60-91 years. Twelve participants (92.3%) had contact with people with dementia. Consequently, 40 codes, 24 sub-categories, and 13 categories were formed, and the following six core categories representing the emotions associated with developing dementia among the middle-aged or older adults living in community were identified: (a) fear, (b) apprehension, (c) threat, (d) denial, (e) despair, and (f) relief.

 Conclusions: The middle-aged or older adults worry about dementia due to unfavorable knowledge. Thus, there is a need to promote sufficient knowledge about dementia among the middle-aged or older adults and provide good care via professionals for people with dementia.
