Inequalities in Dementia: Unveiling the Evidence and Forging a Path Towards Greater Understanding

26 June 2024

Our literature review suggests that there are more than 100 inequalities impacting on people living with dementia and their carers across multiple characteristics, circumstances, and in various parts of the health and care system. However, the current low availability and quality of data is a major barrier to accurately measuring these inequalities. With the expectation that 1 in 2 people will be affected by dementia during their lifetime, there is a pressing need for further research to inform future policy, research, and service interventions.
