在过去十年中，加勒比西班牙裔岛屿经历了加速的人口老龄化，是拉丁美洲老龄化最快的区域。据报告，包括痴呆症在内的与糖尿病有关的非传染性疾病目前的发病率很高。加勒比群岛有着相似的遗传血统、文化、迁移模式和风险状况，为了解加勒比西班牙裔痴呆症提供了独特的环境。这篇透视文章旨在描述痴呆症在加勒比地区的影响，在地方和区域层面，并反映研究策略，以解决痴呆症。我们报告了10/66项目的调查结果，描述了该地区的研究项目和区域计划。根据我们的研究结果，加勒比地区的痴呆症患病率在拉丁美洲最高，多米尼加共和国为11.7%，波多黎各为11.6%，古巴为10.8%。来自10/66研究新浪潮的初步数据显示，痴呆症病例的数量正在增加。此外，痴呆症预计将成为加勒比保健系统面临的最严重的医疗和社会问题之一。然而，缺乏知识、意识和卫生服务来应对这一公共卫生危机。根据新的证据，地方和区域战略正在进行中，以更好地了解该地区的痴呆症趋势，并制定旨在减少痴呆症影响的政策。执行我们的国家计划对于应对痴呆症高发的老龄化人口至关重要。目前的建议包括强调公共卫生预防运动，以解决可改变的风险因素，并扩大对照顾者和家庭干预措施的支持。
During the last decade, the Caribbean Hispanic islands experienced accelerated demographic aging, representing the fastest aging region within Latin America. Age-related non-communicable diseases, including dementia, are now reported at high prevalence. The Caribbean islands share similar genetic ancestry, culture, migration patterns, and risk profiles, providing a unique setting to understand dementia in the Caribbean-Hispanics. This perspective article aimed to describe the impact of dementia in the Caribbean, at a local and regional level and reflect on research strategies to address dementia. We report on 10/66 project findings, described research projects and regional plans for the region. According to our results, the prevalence of dementia in the Caribbean is the highest in Latin America, with 11.7% in Dominican Republic, 11.6% in Puerto Rico, and 10.8% in Cuba. Preliminary data from new waves of the 10/66 study shows increasing numbers of dementia cases. Furthermore, dementia is expected to be one of the most serious medical and social issues confronted by Caribbean health systems. However, there is a scarcity of knowledge, awareness, and health services to deal with this public health crisis. In light of the new evidence, local and regional strategies are underway to better understand dementia trends for the region and develop policies aimed to decrease the impact of dementia. Implementation of our national plans is critical to deal with an aging population with high dementia rates. Current recommendations include emphasizing public health prevention campaigns to address modifiable risk factors and expand support to caregiver and family interventions.
