“…On this basis, one should be cautious in comparing the reported incidence rates for dementia in Denmark and the Faroe Islands. It is clear though that women are at a higher risk of dementia in both Denmark 25 and the Faroe Islands, 27 an observation in accordance with a number of studies that report higher incidence rates of AD in women relative to men, particularly in persons older than age 80 to 85 years 28–31 . However, the results have been inconsistent and other epidemiologic studies did not find a difference in incidence of AD or all types of dementia between the sexes 32–35 .…”

“…El estudio ReDeCar 9 tomó sus datos a partir de consultas hospitalarias. Basados en estudios anteriores realizados en poblaciones rurales 6 , 17 , 29 , creemos que la naturalización del deterioro cognitivo en la vejez en éstas áreas, así como la dificultad de acceso a efectores de salud especializados que atiendan este tipo de problemáticas son factores que reducen las consultas efectivas que realizan las personas mayores y sus familiares por quejas cognitivas. Este estudio abordó la problemática yendo al hogar de las personas mayores a tomar los datos, por lo que consideramos estima más fielmente la realidad del área Este de la provincia de Tucumán.…”

“…Muchas de condiciones médicas dependientes de la edad, como las enfermedades neurodegenerativas (trastornos neurocognitivos o TNC según el manual estadístico de los trastornos mentales DSM-5) (5) , no necesariamente son agudas o mortales, pero presentan un fuerte impacto en la calidad de vida de la población a la vez que implican altos costos para la salud pública. Por ello y en las últimas décadas, el estudio del comportamiento epidemiológico de los TNC se ha convertido en un problema importante y relevante para la salud pública, económica y social (6,7) . Conocer sobre la prevalencia, incidencia y tendencias de los TNC en un país, provee información crucial para el desarrollo y planificación de políticas públicas así como permite ahorrar costos en los servicios de salud (6) .…”
