Some recent studies from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on dementia have been published in international journals as part of international data, analysis and interpretation. They have also been published separately employing local perspectives and analysis. The different results and interpretations of these two approaches to the same data suggest the need for independent work and study of the local reality to inform national public health policies.
