Social inequity in ageing in place among older adults in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries: a mixed studies systematic review.

Background: Most older adults wish to remain in their homes and communities as they age. Despite this widespread preference, disparities in health outcomes and access to healthcare and social support may create inequities in the ability to age in place. Our objectives were to synthesise evidence of social inequity in ageing in place among older adults using an intersectional lens and to evaluate the methods used to define and measure inequities.

Considering inequities in national dementia strategies: breadth, depth, and scope.

Background: Considering that dementia is an international public health priority, several countries have developed national dementia strategies outlining initiatives to address challenges posed by the disease. These strategies aim to improve the care, support, and resources available to meet the needs of persons living with dementia and their care partners and communities. Despite the known impact of social determinants of health on dementia risk, care, and outcomes, it is unclear whether dementia strategies adequately address related inequities.

Quality indicator framework for primary care of patients with dementia.

Objective: To develop a framework of population-based primary care quality indicators adapted to patients with dementia and to identify a subset of stakeholder-driven priority indicators.

Design: Framework development was carried out through the selection of an initial framework based on a rapid review and identification of relevant indicators and enrichment based on existing dementia indicators and guidelines. Prioritization of indicators was carried out through a stakeholder survey.
