Culture at the centre of ageing research and dementia prevention with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples

With extending lifespan healthy ageing is becoming synonymous with healthy brain ageing, and dementia prevention is increasingly recognised as a global public health challenge. In Australia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is ageing rapidly, with the number of older people expected to exceed half a million in the next 30 years. At the same time, dementia prevention is a priority, with high rates of dementia observed across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in remote, regional, and urban settings, with onset at relatively younger ages.

Webinar: Involving CALD Communities in Dementia Research

With one in three older people being from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) background, Australia is both an increasingly ageing and multicultural nation. However, there is an under-representation of CALD communities in dementia research. Consequently, many research findings translated into clinical practice and social policy are culturally inappropriate, disregard biological differences across Australia’s multicultural groups, and perpetuate social inequalities.
