ZARAgoza DEMentia DEPression Project
The main objective is to document the association between hypothesized risk factors and cases of dementia (and depression) and its most frequent subtypes, dementia of the Alzheimer’s type (DAT) and vascular dementia (VD).
The secondary objectives are:in the first place, to document related cultural aspects like: the course and natural history of both dementia and depression in this population; the prevalence, incidence and associations of disability; the prevalence, incidence and implications of physical morbidity, as well as non-cognitive, non-depressive morbidity; and the mortality outcomes and factors influencing them. Secondly, its objective is to compare incidence rates of dementia, as well as depression, and risk factors for both conditions. Finally, ZARADEMP aims to document the prevalence and incidence of physical and psychiatric co-morbidity, as well as its associations and related risk factors.
