Dementia is a growing global health concern, especially in developing nations. The 10/66 Dementia Research Group addresses the lack of epidemiological data and culturally appropriate tools for dementia research in these regions.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Gerontology

Context:

  • Global population aging increases dementia prevalence.
  • Developing countries face significant challenges in dementia research.
  • Limited epidemiological studies and socio-culturally inadequate instruments hinder dementia case identification in low- and middle-income countries.

Purpose:

  • To update literature data on dementia prevalence and incidence differences.
  • To highlight the work of the 10/66 Dementia Research Group.
  • To address the research gap in developing countries, where over two-thirds of dementia cases occur.

Summary:

  • The 10/66 Dementia Research Group, an international network primarily from developing countries, was established to tackle the scarcity of dementia research.

  • The group's name reflects the disparity where <10% of studies focus on the >2/3 of dementia cases in developing nations.
  • This paper synthesizes current literature on the varying prevalence and incidence of dementia between developed and developing countries.

    • Impact:

    • Enhances understanding of global dementia epidemiology.
    • Promotes the development of culturally valid diagnostic tools for dementia.
    • Informs public health strategies for aging populations in diverse global settings.
