At the same time, it remains unclear how social categories (e.g. gender, ethnicity, migration status, socioeconomic position) intersect with health care disparities for people living with dementia and may lead to experiences of inequity and inequality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review analyzes the use of intersectionality frameworks and intersection analyses in dementia care research over the past decade (2015\u20132025).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We followed Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage scoping review methodology, extended with PRISMA guidelines and used the McCall framework to critically synthesize the included articles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We identified 14 articles that met our criteria for applying an intersectionality framework to analyze data.
