ABSTRACT
â¢Compared to Swedish-born people, foreign-born people were less likely to receive dementia diagnostic tests.â¢Being born in Africa or Europe was associated with lower chance of receiving cholinesterase inhibitors.â¢Asian-born people had higher chance of receiving cholinesterase inhibitors, but were less likely to receive memantine.â¢Disparities existed in dementia diagnostics and treatment between Swedish-born and foreign-born people, but were not consistent after adjusting for MMSE scores.
