Context:

The Report combines the most current prevalence data from the World Alzheimer Report 2009 with improved data on low and middle-income countries from the 10/66 Dementia Research Group studies in Latin America, India and China. The Report uses representative population-based samples from developing countries to better quantify the cost of informal care systems that have previously been excluded from impact estimates.

@PUNKEY,

Thanks.

But it sounds more or less ridiculous.

Waiting for others' replies.

@oristarA,
It's the name of an organization:

http://www.alz.co.uk/1066/

It's not any particular phrase that would be recognizable to most native English speakers, I just thought from the usage that it might be the name and Googled it.

The 10/66 Dementia Research Group is a collective of researchers carrying out population-based research into dementia, non-communicable diseases and ageing in low and middle income countries.

10/66 refers to the two-thirds (66%) of people with dementia living in low and middle income countries, and the 10% or less of population-based research that has been carried out in those regions.

No, I didn't, and I apologise to oristarA. However...
