Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Neuroscience
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Dementia research predominantly focuses on high-income nations, neglecting the majority of cases in developing regions.
  • Significant disparities exist in dementia prevalence and incidence data between developed and developing countries.
  • Existing research infrastructure and funding are insufficient to address the global burden of dementia.

Framework:

  • The 10/66 Dementia Research Group promotes international research collaborations between developed and developing countries.
  • The group aims to harmonize methodologies for cross-cultural dementia research.
  • Focus areas include prevalence, incidence, care arrangements, caregiver impact, and service evaluation.

Implementation:

  • The 10/66 group originated from researchers at the 1998 Alzheimer's Disease International conference.
