Data from the studies in both Yogyakarta and Bali showed a higher prevalence of dementia in women (22.0% and 38%, respectively) than men (17.9% and 25.7%, respectively) (Suriastini et al., 2016, 2018). This is consistent with other, international data on dementia, which suggests that this condition affect more women than men (Erol et al., 2015).

We found no data on differences between ethnic groups.
