TABLE 1.

Prevalence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment by population

Age group (in years) 60‐64 65‐69 70‐74 ≥75 Age‐standardized
TSIMANE
N 135 139 82 79 435
% Men 44.4% 54.7% 57.3% 48.1% 50.8%
Dementia
N cases 0 0 0 5 5
Prevalence % (95% CI) 6.3 (2.1, 14.2) 1.2 (0.1, 2.0)
MCI
N cases 1 13 7 14 35
Prevalence % (95% CI) 0.7 (0.0, 4.1) 9.4 (5.1,15.5) 8.5 (3.5, 16.8) 17.7 (10.0, 27.9) 7.7 (5.2, 10.3)
MOSETEN
N 68 50 28 23 169
% Men 52.9% 54.0% 50.0% 56.5% 53.2%
Dementia
N cases 0 0 0 1 1
Prevalence % (95% CI) 4.4 (0.1,22.0) 0.7 (0.0, 2.2)
MCI
N cases 5 4 4 3 16
Prevalence % (95% CI) 7.4 (2.4, 16.3) 8.0 (2.2, 19.2) 14.3 (4.0, 32.7) 13.0 (2.8, 35.6) 9.8 (4.9, 14.6)

Note: 95% Confidence intervals (CIs) for age‐specific estimates are exact binomial. 95% CI for age‐standardized estimates are based on normal distribution. If those who died during the prevalence period are not removed, crude prevalence is 1.1% for Tsimane and 1.2% for Moseten (vs crude prevalence of 1.2% and 0.7% with adjustment for deaths during the prevalence period). One Moseten dementia case was among those who died during the prevalence period.
