abstract = {While non-pharmacological dementia prevention is
increasingly prioritized in research and policy,
intersectional perspectives remain underrepresented. These
are essential to address structural determinants of health
and persistent diversities and inequities. This scoping
review aimed to synthesize the existing amount of research
on dementia risk and prevention in relation to migration
background, focusing on three questions: (1) dementia risk
and associated risk factors, (2) prevention, and (3)
evidence concerning the most marginalized migrant
populations.A systematic search was conducted in PubMed,
PsycInfo, and Web of Science following PRISMA guidelines.
The Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework was used to
define inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers
independently screened abstracts and full texts;
discrepancies were resolved through discussion with a third
reviewer. The included studies were synthesized and
discussed.Thirty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria for
(1), including some known risk factors and relevant
migration background factors, such as language barriers,
discrimination, and mental health. Regarding prevention (2),
only a few studies addressed migration-related aspects,
including faith, internet use, or diagnosis. Evidence on
asylum seekers, undocumented individuals, or those with
irregular status was absent (3).This review highlights
significant knowledge gaps in dementia research concerning
people with a migrant background. However, risk and
preventive factors were summarized and partially combined
regarding targeted, sensible prevention. Nevertheless,
migration might modify dementia risk across multiple levels,
yet preventive efforts remain sparse. Addressing these gaps
is essential to designing equitable strategies for reducing
dementia risk and inclusive implementation in research and
practice.identifier: OSF.IO/YHVAW.},
