While not established to monitor people with dementia, a national longitudinal survey, the Mexican Health and Aging Study, MHAS (Wong et al., 2017) and the 10/66 study (Prina et al., 2017) have provided epidemiological data on cognitive impairment and dementia. However, these studies do not monitor these individuals’ condition routinely.
