Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed mortality rates among individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment who engaged in self-harm over a 14-year period in New South Wales, Australia, finding 1,511 individuals with both conditions.
- - The research indicated that circulatory disorders were the leading cause of death (32%) in this group, with risk factors for mortality including male sex, physical health issues, and a history of delirium, while better engagement with outpatient mental health services decreased the chances of repeat self-harm.
- - The findings emphasize that the risk of death increases when individuals with self-harm also develop dementia, highlighting the need for enhanced support after diagnosis to potentially lower mortality rates.
Introduction: People living with dementia experience poor mental health and high rates of self-harm. We investigated risk factors for self-harm in people aged > 40 years living with dementia and risk factors for dementia after self-harm.
Methods: Using linked hospital data from New South Wales, Australia, we defined a dementia cohort (n = 154,811) and a self-harm cohort (n = 28,972).
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a globally distributed zoonotic disease with significant economic impacts. Control measures in Great Britain include testing for and culling diseased animals. Farmers receive compensation for the value of culled animals, but not for the consequential costs of having to comply with testing and associated control measures.

Despite increasing population diversity in high-income settlement countries, ethnic minorities remain underrepresented in dementia research. We investigated approaches to enhance the recruitment, and consistent collection and analysis of variables relevant to, ethnic minorities in dementia studies to make recommendations for consistent practice in dementia research.
