good monring
i'm questionning about the expression of the behavior in chronic dementia and its relations with the society where the people grow up.
are there a difference in the expression of the behavior between an occidental society and an oriental one?
i need a collaborate working in a geriatric or neurologic services in asia ( china, korea, india, japon ) we take care of patient with chronic dementia; to design and execute this study.
best regards
The expression of behaviour is decided by the society we live. Difference does not only exist in occidental and oriental society but also within urban and rural societies across the orient. In fact geography is a key determinant for the expressions in India.
I agree with you. in a same country , there are a difference between urban and rural patient according to their behavior . and this difference is biggest between two continent! it will be more easier to show this difference. especially that there are a great difference in the behavior between oriental and occidental people.
There is also the difference of whether a particular cultural group has a concept of dementia at all - they may see the cognitive and behavioural changes as being part of ageing or as a mental illness
Alzheimers Australia Victoria has produced a really useful set of profiles of perceptions of dementia in 12 different cultural communities:
