Aim: A systematic review to explore the impact of cultural beliefs of dementia as witchcraft in sub-Saharan Africa.
Background: The population of sub-Saharan Africa is aging, which increases the number of those at risk of dementia. Mental health and physical diseases that affect behaviour have often been associated with witchcraft. Accusations of witchcraft leave individuals vulnerable and at risk.
Method: A systematic review, which followed the Preferred Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and completed a PRISMA checklist.
