Note: The diagnosis of dementias relies on clinical judgement and as such is subject to interpersonal variation. Further, prevalence data is influenced by changes to diagnostic criteria and advances in diagnostic technology over time, as well as public awareness of dementia. These factors may introduce heterogeneity within and between countries. Time trends must therefore be interpreted with caution. See further details in Wu, et al.
