Severe Dementia: Prevalence and Clinical Features in a Biracial US Population
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to document the prevalence of severe dementia among different racial groups residing in the same community--Copiah County, Mississippi. Both household and institutionalized populations were included. For either sex, the prevalence ratios of all severe dementia and clinically diagnosed severe senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type were at least as large among blacks as among whites. For either race, the corresponding prevalence ratios were greater in females. For each race and sex, the corresponding prevalence ratios increased with advancing age. Finally, in the population studied, approximately 1% of individuals 40 years old or older had severe dementia. This figure increased to 7% for individuals 80 years old or older.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
