Other associations are in keeping with previous literature.PMID:37561952 | DOI:10.1097/WAD.0000000000000564

426 prevalence of, and risk factors for, dementia in adult outpatient referrals to a regional referral hospital in arusha, tanzania
ConclusionsThe prevalence of dementia in this population is lower than previously reported community-based rates in Tanzania, and similar to those in high-income countries. This is the first time the association between uncorrected visual impairment and dementia has been reported in SSA. Other associations identified are in keeping with previous literature. Further research on the management of dementia and its risk factors, and the support and education of carers and patients in east African populations is required.
