This lack of attention partly lies in the common mundane situation of overshadowing research interests. Mental health research in older adults focuses almost entirely on dementia, while research into affective and psychotic disorders focuses almost entirely on young adults. Unfortunately, lack of research translates into an impoverished evidence base, which in turn filters through to underrepresentation in healthcare policy, and this compounds the problem by reducing the likelihood of interest from research funders, impeding capacity building and perpetuating a vicious cycle of inattention which does no favours for patients or health services. Even within the field, there are inequalities in research evidence, with considerably more attention paid to late-onset syndromes than to those who may have been living with their earlier-onset condition for decades by the time they reach older age ranges.</p><p>However, considering late-life psychosis, overshadowing research priorities are only part of the problem, as the conditions themselves present sizeable intrinsic challenges. The social withdrawal that characterises late-onset psychosis limits the likelihood of people affected being represented in conventional recruited research samples or retained in any study involving follow-up [<span>1</span>]. Furthermore, people with earlier-onset diagnoses are frequently out of contact with mental health services by the time they reach ‘older adult’ age ranges, so that it is difficult to identify potential participants for approaching in the first place. Conventional case control, cohort and intervention studies are therefore logistically formidable, if not wholly impractical and/or fundamentally limited by participation and/or attrition bias.</p><p>The growing availability of routine healthcare data for research provides important opportunities for improving the evidence base. Most national data governance frameworks permit the use of effectively anonymised healthcare information to be used for research which enables the better representation of populations who would previously have been considered ‘hard to reach’ in conventional recruited samples. This advantage is exemplified in the approach taken by Normark et al. [<span>2</span>], described in this issue, using national data from Denmark to investigate dementia incidence in people with schizophrenia and related disorders (ICD-10 F2x) according to their age at first psychosis diagnosis or treatment.
