There is no routinely monitored data about the number of people with dementia by the Ministry of Health or other ministries. The only recent data on dementia prevalence resulted from ADI’s prediction (Prince et al., 2015) and two separate studies in two provinces of Indonesia conducted by an independent research institution, Surveymeter (Suriastini et al., 2016, 2018). More information on incidence and prevalence estimated from these studies can be found in part 2.
