Development of ethnicity stratified causal risk prediction models of dementia

To develop an approach that effectively explores all potential risk factors for dementia and leave out those that are simply associated with the condition. This can then be built into a refined causal risk model for use in interventions. The objectives are, for each ethnic group, 1) to construct a causal network of dementia; 2) to develop a causal risk prediction model of dementia where the key causal risk factors are informed by 1); and 3) to develop free software to share with the community.
