This novel volume offers a comprehensive examination of dementia epidemiology, diagnosis, and care across lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly exploring diverse and culturally inclusive perspectives on understanding, diagnosing, and managing dementia.

Arguing that living well with dementia, tailoring research and interventions to local contexts, and prioritising primary and secondary prevention efforts are of critical importance to the health outcomes of those affected by dementia, this book goes beyond common approaches in high-health-resourced regions to explore health disparities, societal and cultural influences, and economic inequities often present in regions of LMICs. Truly international, these chapters champion a pluralistic and multi-dimensional approach, taking diverse and culturally relevant aspects into consideration to review the challenges and advancements in dementia care. Ultimately, the necessity for diverse and equitable approaches across regions is emphasised.

This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of dementia research, gerontology and ageing within LMICs, as well as the sociology of health and illness more broadly, including the global health ecosystem. The book may also appeal to clinicians who are developing dementia services.
