“…Findings: Dementia prevalence age-sex standardised to the IDI population in the last study period of 2019-2020 was 231.6 for Māori, 183.5 for Pacific peoples, 126.5 for European and 87.0 for Asian per 100,000 age <65 years population (Ryan et al, 2022) and 5.4% for Māori, 6.3% for Pacific peoples, 3.7% for European, and 3.4% for Asian in the age 60+ population (Cheung et al, 2022). Overall, one-third of the dementia population received a funded anti-dementia medication (Chan et al, 2022). Compared to people of European ethnicity, Māori and Pacific peoples were less likely to be dispensed an anti-dementia medication (Māori: RR = 0.79-0.81, p < 0.0001; Pacific peoples: RR = 0.72-0.74, p < 0.0001; Chan et al, 2022).…”
