The survey was developed based on a previously published one and reviewed by an expert panel. We compared groups using a Chi-squared test.

A total of 41.6% of respondents were doctors and 21.8%, nurses. One fifth of participants did not recognize AD as a cause of dementia and over half considered \u201csenile dementia\u201d a valid clinical entity. Scores were higher among those with postgraduate training, multiple patients with dementia, or those who had practiced for over 10 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003There is a low level of knowledge of dementia and AD among health professionals in Peru, which worsens outside of Lima.
