Prevalence, incidence and associations of dementia with cardiovascular risk factors in the Latin American and Caribbean population. A population‐based cohort study of 10/66 Dementia Research Group

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries are experiencing unprecedentedly rapid demographic ageing. Growing evidence shows that cardiovascular health (CVH) is associated with brain health. Little is known about this topic among older adults in Latin America, where the number of people living with dementia is rising. The present study aimed to examine the prevalence, incidence and associations of socioeconomic determinants and cardiovascular risk factors with dementia across six LAC countries.
