| Annotation | Ethnic differences in rates of dementia nationally, within multi-ethnic communities, and internationally have important repercussions. The question whether ethnic differences exist in rates of dementia is a crucial one that has implications for service delivery and also offers opportunities for future research on possible aetiological factors. Epidemiological surveys suggest that ethnic and geographical differences do occur in rates of dementia, but cross-cultural surveys are fraught with problems. The need for further methodologically sound, cross-cultural comparative studies is paramount to confirm or disclaim the ethnic differences observed to date. (AKM). |
