ABSTRACT
We aimed to estimate the prevalence, correlates and impact of dementia in Havana and Matanzas, Cuba.

Methods:

A 1-phase catchment area survey of all over 65-year-old residents of 7 catchment areas in Havana and 1 in Matanzas was conducted. Dementia diagnosis was established according to DSM-IV and our own, pre-validated10/66 criteria. The impact of dementia was assessed through associations with needs for care, cutting back on work to care and caregiver psychological morbidity...(AU)
