Description
Ismael Luis Calandri and co-authors present a 2025 study on how often dementia newly appears in Argentina. The country is aging fast, yet no national incidence figures existed. The team mined ten years of the National Disability Registry, a database that certifies cases through expert boards.
Cases counted people whose mental disability began after age 18 with a coded dementia cause. Rates were standardized by age against census-based population estimates. Trend lines tracked change across the decade, split by sex, with a look at early-onset cases too. Registry data undercount some illness, but they give the first national yardstick. Health planners in Latin America's second-largest country gain a baseline for services and budgets.
