Abstract
The aging rate of the Vietnamese population is one of the most elevated worldwide. Dementia is identified as one of the major disturbances to healthy aging and a leading cause of death in Vietnam. In spite of the importance of dementia research for policy making and healthcare development, there is a scarcity in study on epidemiological profile of dementia in Vietnam.
