Socioeconomic position and cognitive function in the Seychelles: a life course analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Incidence and prevalence studies of neurological disorders play an extremely important role in hypothesis-generation, assessing the burden of disease and planning of health services. However, the assessment of disease estimates is hindered by the poor quality of reporting for such studies. We developed the S...
