Prevalence ratios were calculated using modified Poisson regression while adjusting for age for each of the ten age and sex strata. Figure 1 displays the age-standardized dementia prevalence rates for men and women across various age groups within the general population, the low-income group, and the homeless population. For both genders, the homeless group shows a significant increase in dementia prevalence within the middle-age brackets, facing a
