Alzheimer's Disease in Africa: A Scoping Review Protocol

2026Open accessUniversity of Ghana

Abstract

This review aims to map the existing literature on AD in Africa by identifying contributors to AD research in Africa, identifying research trends, and areas that require further investigation. Data obtained from this study will help guide future research efforts on AD in Africa and help guide context-based interventions, addressing hypothesized regional disparities in AD burden and research, which would ultimately improve the outcomes of patients with AD within the continent.
