Description
Chiara C Brück and three co-authors gather the world research on how long people live after a dementia diagnosis, and how soon they move into a nursing home, in this 2025 review. Families ask for this outlook when planning care, but past studies give scattered answers. The team searched two large medical databases for every study that tracked time from diagnosis to death or to a care home move.
The review covered 212 studies and well over a million patients. Median survival after diagnosis was about 4.7 years, but it ranged widely. People diagnosed younger lived longer, and patients in Asia lived longer than those in the United States or Europe. Half of the gaps between studies came down to patient mix and study design. The results give families a firmer base for planning.
