Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA.

Euro-Mediterranean University of Fez (UEMF), Fez, Fez, Morocco.
Background: The spread of fake news may lead to a disparate wave of digital health-seeking behavior, cyberchondria, anxiety, indecision, and other psychosocial dysfunctions, including collapse in social capital and stigmatization. In this study, we utilized a bibliometric analysis to discern the primary trends associated with health communication and health-seeking behavior regarding dementia-related contents in countries within the Middle East and North African (MENA) region.
