| Annotation | This paper describes a model which produces quantitative estimates of the numbers and characteristics of older people with cognitive disability at a level comparable to moderate or severe dementia or confusion. It produces robust estimates for local populations based on the numbers of people in the age groups: 65-74, 75-84, and 85 and over. It is available as a simple software package designed for use by those involved in planning services for older people. It can provide a basis for evidence-based health care or social care decisions, or for informed policy debate. |
