Minoritised ethnic groups and modifiable dementia risk: a scoping review of UK-based evidence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People from minoritised ethnic groups are more likely to be impacted by dementia. In the general population, dementia may be prevented or delayed by up to 40% by reducing risk in 12 modifiable risk factors (MRF). However, minoritised ethnic groups are not systematically included.

Objectives

We conducted a scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute guidance to map: (1) which minoritised ethnic groups have been included in UK research on dementia MRF, (2) for which MRF and (3) using which research methods.

Eligibility criteria

Eligible studies analysed one or more of the 12 MRFs among minoritised ethnic groups.

Evidence sources

Medline, Embase Classic+Embase, PsycInfo, Web of Science, CINAHL and grey literature were searched.
