“…This is in line with the notion that LMICs will likely continue to be mostly affected by new cases of dementia, 10 , 24 which has led some countries and institutions to outline regional and national strategies to fight dementia. 3 These initiatives include the Strengthening Responses to Dementia in Developing Countries (STRIDE) network, aiming to develop strategies to fight dementia in LMICs, 25 and Latin American Brain Health Institute (BrainLat) 26 and the Latin American and the Caribbean Consortium on Dementia (LAC‐CD), 27 the latter two aiming to facilitate dementia research in Latin America.…”

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a global health issue. Because AD is a condition demanding effective management, its socioeconomic burden is immense and threatens the health systems of both low‐ and middle‐income (LMIC) and high‐income (HIC) countries. However, while most of the HICs are increasing their budget for AD research, the situation is different in LMICs, and resources are scarce. In addition, LMIC researchers face significant barriers to publishing in international peer reviewed journals, including funding constraints; language barriers; and in many cases, high article processing charges. In this perspective, we discuss these disparities and propose some actions that could help promote diversity, and ultimately translate into improved AD research capacity in LMICs, especially in Latin American and Caribbean countries. HIGHLIGHTS Researchers in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC) face increasing difficulties such as financial constraints, language barriers, and article processing charges. Publication fees, in particular, can be a significant barrier in the process of publication and equal access to scientific information. Publication fee equalization initiatives by publishing companies could reduce the scientific inequality that disadvantages researchers in LMICs.

“…The cultural, sociological, and linguistic diversity of FS-SSA could contribute to culturally related effects impacting cognitive performance, differences in tests assessing cognitive abilities, and differences in cultural appropriateness of dementia care pathways vis-a-vis the local populations. There is a need to pay particular attention to this under-represented group of Africans, as it has been shown that cross-cultural adaptation is essential in validating dementia diagnostic and therapeutic interventions across countries and settings [38][39][40]. Therefore, existing literature on the epidemiology of dementia and cognitive impairment in FS-SSA must be thoroughly explored to extract critical information to de ne future perspectives on Dementia in Africa.…”

Dementia is a global public health problem with increasing prevalence and incidence worldwide. The African continent is expected to bear the biggest brunt of the burden of dementia by 2050 because of the rapid demographic changes, including rapid population growth, an increase in life expectancy, and ageing. However, French-speaking Sub-Saharan African (FS-SSA) countries are underrepresented in research on dementia in Africa. While the reasons are diverse and complex, linguistic and cultural barriers to research, disproportionately affect these countries and may be significant factors. Any efforts, therefore, to redress the burden of dementia in Africa must consider the specific demographic, cultural, and linguistic characteristics of FS-SSA countries. This scoping review explores the current state of knowledge in dementia and cognitive impairment in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting research gaps and specific patterns unique to FS-SSA Africa. We identify pathways for research to bridge the knowledge gaps on dementia in FS-SSA as part of the global endeavor to tackle dementia worldwide.

Background & Objective: Indonesia’s ageing population and increasing number of people living with dementia poses significant challenge to the health system. Better understanding of factors related to dementia prevalence is needed to mitigate risk, improve care, and ultimately reduce the incidence of dementia. In this study, we aimed to describe associations between potential risk factors and dementia in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study, part of the Strengthening Responses to Dementia in Developing Countries (STRiDE) project, was conducted in two provinces in Indonesia, Jakarta and North Sumatra between September and December 2021. A total of 2,110 older adults and their informants completed questionnaires covering cognitive and functional status, socioeconomic, medical and lifestyle factors. Models for each potential modifiable risk factor were created and then adjusted by age, sex and literacy. Prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated for each risk factor. Results: In the adjusted models, lower education, lower occupational attainment, unmanaged diabetes, stroke, head trauma within the past 5 years, hearing loss, and chronic obstructive airway disease were all associated with higher prevalence of dementia in Indonesia. Current smoking, historic depression and high blood pressure were associated with higher dementia prevalence, but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Improving socioeconomic status (i.e., education and employment) and reducing health- related risk factors may be viable solutions to reduce the high prevalence rates of dementia in Indonesia. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm direction of effect and causality.
