10/66 Puerto Rico
The 10/66 Puerto Rico study is a sub-study of the 10/66 Dementia Research Group's population-based research program. The aim of this program is to create a publicly accessible data archive from the 10/66 population-based surveys. These surveys include over 17,000 older people from six countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, India, China, and Nigeria. The 10/66 Puerto Rico cohort comprises all older residents aged 65 years and over, living in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in the United States of America. At baseline, 20.6% of the sample were between the ages of 65 and 69 years, and 32.6% were 80 years and above. The baseline sweep took place in 2007, a second wave in 2012 and 2013, and a third wave in 2015 and 2016.
