Statistical methods for dementia risk prediction and recommendations for future work: A systematic review

Numerous dementia risk prediction models have been developed in the past decade. However, methodological limitations of the analytical tools used may hamper their ability to generate reliable dementia risk scores. We aim to review the used methodologies.
