Highlights
Recorded dementia prevalence at 31 December 2016 is 0.772 per cent (1 person in 129).

After adjustments to remove spurious, 'non-GP' practices, shared practices and practices which decided not to participate in this extraction, the extract cohort available for collection was 7,442 practices.
Of the extract cohort, data for 7,318 practices were collected, representing 98.3 per cent coverage of cohort practices.
