Risk and protective factors for dementia: epidemiological evidence and windows of opportunity

Most people with dementia already live in low‐ to middle‐income countries (LMIC). However, most evidence regarding dementia prevention comes from high‐income countries that have different socioeconomic status (SES) and risk factors prevalence than LMIC. In this session, we will present results on risk and protective factors for dementia from the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA‐Brasil), the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI‐Brazil), and the Brazilian Biobank for Aging Studies (BAS).
