Synopsis
The project will use
data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women ’ s Health and the Health in
Men Cohort Study. Records of dementia will
be obtained from self reported data and linked administrative sources. The incidence
and prevalence estimates will be produced. In addition capture-recapture
methods will be used to estimate numbers of dementia cases not identified
through data linkage.
