Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to estimate the magnitude of geographical variation in dementia rates and suggest explanations for this variation. Small-area studies are scarce, and none has adequately investigated the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the distribution of dementia. METHODS: We present 2 complementary small-area hierarchical Bayesian disease-mapping studies using the...
