Public knowledge of the influence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors on dementia: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Despite dementia is considered as a public health priority by World Health Organization, knowledge of the modifiable CVRFs and dementia is low in the general population. Public health policymakers should develop appropriate educational programs and interventions to equip the communities and vulnerable groups with this understanding so that they can be prepared to reduce dementia risk.
