Abstract:
Epidemiological research on dementia in Belgium started in 1990 with a prevalence study. In the first phase of the MMSE was used for screening a random sample, stratified by age, of 1,800 aged people. In the second phase the diagnostic work was done by a psychiatrist using the CAMDEX. An incidence study will start after 2 years. Potential risk factors will be examined in a case-control study.
