Background: Data from high-income countries (HICs) suggest a decline in age-specific incidence rates of dementia. However, this has happened primarily in HICs, with low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) facing two main challenges: a higher burden of risk factors and, in general, a faster ageing population. Most people with dementia live in LMICs, and this is set to increase, thus requiring urgent and robust action to prevent, treat and support people with dementia and their families.

However, there is limited knowledge regarding the risk and protective factors for loneliness and depression among LGBTQ older adults living with cognitive impairment.

Background: Low-middle income countries in Latin America, including Brazil, face a higher prevalence of cognitive decline compared to high-income countries, leading to social-economic and healthcare implications. Several studies have showed an association between reduced physical function and cognitive decline. However, there remains a gap in the understanding of this relationship within the older Brazilian population.
