Similarities And Differences

Comparative cross-cultural studies represent a great opportunity for delineating risk factors for the dementias by providing a much wider diversity of both environmental exposures and genetic variation than studies within industrialized countries. Similarly, studies of the behavioral disturbances of dementia that allow for identification of similarities and differences may be useful both in understanding the etiology of these disorders and in determining the best approach to management. So far, few such comparative studies exist.
