Nonetheless, there is no valid data describing the prevalence of dementia. This is the first study to obtain the prevalence, the risk factors of dementia and to describe the caregiver's knowledge of the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire in 1,976 elderlies and 1,415 caregivers. This study was conducted in all regencies of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Dementia diagnosis was based upon Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, the presence of difficulties on Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL) and AD8 score =2. We determined the risk factors and the knowledge of dementia in the elderly group and their caregivers by ability in recognizing the ten signs of dementia through direct interview. Results: The prevalence of dementia in the elderly was 20.1%. The risk factors of dementia were older age, female gender, low education, history of stroke, and unemployment. Only less than 12% of the 1,415 caregivers were able to recognize memory-loss as an important early feature of AD. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of dementia in Yogyakarta was high and the risk factors were older age, female gender, low education, history of stroke, and unemployment. The knowledge of early symptoms of dementia in the elderly population and the caregivers were extremely poor in this study. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
