| Annotation | Prevalence rates of dementia in China are approaching those in the West, yet there have been few studies outside the large cities. This article summarises studies relating to influences on the system of care for demented older people: the growth of one-child families; decreasing levels of filial care; changing levels of residential care provision; a low level of specialist medical care and other welfare services; a low level of public awareness of dementia; and the weakening of the extended family, associated with urbanisation and the increasing mobility of labour. |
