Respectable members,
Greetings. In the past I was hardly aware of dementia. Now reading the signs and symptoms of dementia is becoming my second nature. I am comparing the prevalances to Australia, UK, USA and such countries to India; I thought, India has less prevalances. It is also evidenced here -
" India is the second largest populous country. The prevalence doubles with every five-year increase in age. Looking at some studies, it appears that the prevalence of dementia in India is lower as compared to developed countries and even from other developing countries."
(paraphrased from here).
As per this report, BBC thinks, Indian villages may hold the key to beat dementia.

Is it true, India has less prevalances of dementia? If so, what is the reason?
I request members to share their views, please. Thanks.
Cheers!
