Description
Jonathan Adrian Zegarra-Valdivia and a large team of co-authors surveyed memory and thinking problems among older adults in northern Peru, in work published in 2025. Rates of dementia in that region are poorly documented, in part because few studies use sound tests.
The region mixes rich and poor households and has low average schooling, plus widespread illness, stress, and poor nutrition across life. All of these raise the risk of dementia in coming decades. The study set out to measure thinking impairment in adults aged fifty and over in Chiclayo. Participants came from senior centres, nursing homes, and neighborhood groups, giving a broad social mix for the count.
