Methods Data on Faroese-born immigrants in Denmark were retrieved from the Danish Central Population Register. Incident dementia cases were identified from the Danish National Patient Register. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were used to compare the dementia incidence in immigrants with the general Danish population. Results Female, first-generation Faroese immigrants had double the risk of dementia compared with Danes (SIR 2.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-2.5); the excess risk prevailed even beyond 10 years in Denmark, and it affected all sub-types of dementia. In male immigrants, only a modest, statistically non-significant excess risk was seen (SIR 1.2, 95% CI 0.9-1.6). Discussion The observation of an excess risk of dementia in women only but not in men of Faroese origin living in Denmark underscores the complexity of the etiology of dementia. © 2020 The Authors.

Even if, due to biological reasons, shorter life expectancy among males has been demonstrated, other factors need to be involved to explain firstly the increasing, and then the decreasing, of the male relative disadvantage over the past century. The principal aim of this paper is to provide a clearer picture of the major age-class and cause-of-death contributions to male excess mortality in England and Wales from 1881 to 2011. Results indicate a clear shift in contributions to the male disadvantage from differences occurring during the first year of life to those occurrin
