Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous estimates suggested that up to 40% of dementia cases worldwide are associated with modifiable risk factors, however, these estimates are not known in Canada. Furthermore, sleep disturbance, an emerging factor, has not been incorporated into the life-course model of dementia prevention.
Objective To estimate the population impact of 12 modifiable risk factors in Canadian adults including sleep disturbance, by sex and age groups, and to compare with other countries.
