Description
Ana Paula Real and three co-authors map dementia among bed bound elders in low income areas of a Brazilian city. They use home care records for more than one thousand patients with dementia. Most had few years of school, and frailty was near universal in the group.
Alzheimer disease alone was the top cause, with vessel based and mixed forms next. Share with dementia rose step by step with age, from about two in five in the youngest band to near four in five in the oldest. Frailty linked strongly to dementia, while school years did not.
