Description
Yinhan Chen and co-authors link heatwaves to faster growth in dementia cases worldwide, in this 2025 study. Climate change is driving more extreme heat, yet its dementia effects had not been measured globally. Data covered one hundred fifty-three countries over three decades.
Daily temperature grids were matched with yearly dementia incidence from a global burden study. Heatwaves were positively tied to quicker within-country growth in new dementia cases. The link held in rich and poorer countries alike, though wealth softened it in rich nations and sharpened it elsewhere. Checks at United States state level and with United Kingdom individual data agreed. The authors call heat a growing factor in dementia planning.
