Description
Chen Zhang, Xuhui Chen, and Yongan Sun compare dementia burden across Japan, China, and India, published in 2026. Global burden data from 1990 to 2023 were analysed for cases, deaths, and disability years. Countries sit at different demographic stages. Forecasting models projected burden to 2038.
China carried the highest absolute burden in 2023, with the highest standardised case rates. Japan had the highest standardised death rate. India showed the fastest yearly rises in deaths and disability. Drivers differed: ageing, population growth, and epidemiological change mixed differently per country. Air pollution led risk factors everywhere. Disability years are predicted to rise in all three.
