Current approaches to dementia screening and case finding in low ‐ and middle‐income countries: Research update and recommendations
Approximately 47 million people have dementia worldwide, with this figure, it is expected to almost triple by 2050. Most people with dementia (approximately two ‐thirds) live in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). This presents a significant challenge for such countries that often have limited financial resources and less well‐developed health and social care systems. In the absence of a cure, reducing the future costs of dementia care and bur den of disease may be best achieved by a greater emphasis on (1) more timely diagnosis with earlier intervention to maintain functional independence and (2) undertaking...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor use and risk of fractures in adults: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsOur systematic review showed an association between risk of fracture and the use of SSRIs, especially with increasing use. Age does not increase this risk. No such conclusions can be drawn about the effect of SNRIs on the risk of fracture because of a lack of studies. (Source: International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry)

The place for dementia ‐friendly communities in England and its relationship with epidemiological need
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that DFC provision is consistent with epidemiological ‐based need. Dementia‐friendly communities are located in areas where they can have the greatest impact. A retrospective understanding of how DFCs have developed in England can inform how equivalent international initiatives might be designed and implemented.
