The research by this Vietnamese-Australian scientist offers hope for improving the quality of life for millions of people with dementia and their caregivers in developing countries.
One of the researchers making groundbreaking contributions to dementia research is Associate Professor Nguyễn Tuấn Anh — a prominent Vietnamese-origin scholar and researcher at the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) in Australia and Swinburne University of Technology.
The International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, one of the world’s leading publications in geriatric mental health, recently honored the outstanding scientists of the STRiDE group (stride-dementia.org) for publishing the most influential and widely read paper by the international scientific community between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023 — a full year since its release.
The paper, titled “Effectiveness of Interventions for Dementia in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Comprehensive Mapping of 340 Randomized Controlled Trials,” is the result of a prestigious international collaboration under the STRiDE project (Strengthening responses to dementia in developing countries).
This is the first global overview study to systematically map and evaluate 340 randomized controlled clinical trials focusing on dementia interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
This achievement not only reinforces the status of these scientists in the field of dementia research but also makes a significant contribution to shaping global healthcare strategies — bringing hope to improve the quality of life for millions of people with dementia and their caregivers in developing nations.
The STRiDE Evidence Review Group consists of 34 researchers worldwide, including Associate Professor Nguyễn Tuấn Anh — a distinguished Vietnamese-origin researcher and scholar at the National Ageing Research Institute in Australia and Swinburne University of Technology.
Associate Professor Nguyễn Tuấn Anh was recognized for his significant contributions to dementia research, his advocacy for health equity, and his development of culturally appropriate interventions for patients.
He is currently leading three international research projects, has authored over 100 scientific publications, presented at more than 70 international conferences, and has secured over AUD 19 million in research funding.
