Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment/Dementia and Associated Risks Factors Among Community‐Dwelling Elderly People Aged 65 or Above in the Community Centers in Hong Kong: A Cross‐Sectional Study
The study showed higher overall prevalence of cognitive impairment/dementia in the community centers than previous studies and potentially high percentage of elderly with undetected dementia in the community. The finding highlighted the importance of increasing dementia literacy, strengthening health promotion for population-wide screening with follow-up diagnosis to enable early detection and subsequent interventions and treatments to improve the quality of dementia care for elderly in Hong Kong.
