Global, regional and national population attributable fraction of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia in the adult population: an analysis using global health databases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Approximately 45% of dementia cases are potentially modifiable; however, their population attributable fraction (PAF) may vary according to sociodeterminants and geographical regions. Thus, this descriptive, ecologic study aimed to estimate overall and individual global, regional and national PAFs due to 14 modifiable risk factors for dementia in adults.

Methods

Age-standardised prevalence, prevalence proportion and relative risk of risk factors for dementia were extracted for each nation from the Global Burden of Disease Study, WHO Observatory, World Bank and Lancet commission for dementia. Communalities by income group and weighted PAFs were calculated. Sociodemographic index (SDI), gross national income (GNI) and Health Access and Quality Index (HAQI) were us
