The 10/66 Dementia Research Group is conducting population-based studies in low-income countries to address the imbalance in dementia research. These studies aim to improve care for the growing number of older adults with dementia in these regions.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Rapid demographic ageing and increasing dementia prevalence in Latin America, China, and India.
  • Disproportionately low research in developing countries, where 66% of dementia cases occur.
  • The 10/66 Dementia Research Group aims to address this research gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the protocols for the 10/66 population-based and intervention studies.
  • To redress the imbalance in dementia research in low and middle-income countries.
  • To establish an evidence base for dementia advocacy and improved care for older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional surveys of residents aged 65+ in ten low and middle-income countries.
  • Utilized a core data set with cross-culturally validated assessments for dementia, health, and functioning.

  • Nested randomized controlled trials for caregiver interventions and a follow-up study on risk factors and mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Baseline population-based studies are nearing completion.
    • Incidence phase scheduled for completion in 2009.
    • Commitment to establishing an anonymized data archive for public access.

    Conclusions:

    • The 10/66 DRG studies provide crucial data on dementia in developing countries.
    • Findings will support advocacy and raise awareness for dementia care needs.
    • Aims to ensure health and social care needs of older populations are met.
