Dementia risk among individuals with a migrant background-a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While non-pharmacological dementia prevention is increasingly prioritized in research and policy, intersectional perspectives remain underrepresented. These are essential to address structural determinants of health and persistent diversities and inequities. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the existing amount of research on dementia risk and prevention in relation to migration background, focusing on three questions: (1) dementia risk and associated risk factors, (2) prevention, and (3) evidence concerning the most marginalized migrant populations.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science following PRISMA guidelines. The Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework was used to define inclusion and exclusion criteria.
