Dementia risk reduction in China: Country‐specific estimates of modifiable risk factors and population attributable fractions (PAFs)

We used the most recent and nationally representative data to calculate population attributable fractions (PAFs) for dementia risk factors in China. In China, 60.3% of dementia cases were attributed to the 12 modifiable risk factors. Education was estimated to contribute 14.0% of dementia cases, and 37.5% was attributed to later-life lifestyle and health factors in China. It is necessary to consider incorporating China-specific factors and updating the PAF calculation method.
