Description

Tobacco use leaves marks far past the lungs, and memory loss is one of them. Piaoyun Wen and fourteen co-authors measure the share of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias tied to tobacco in China and in Southeast Asian nations. Their 2026 study spans the years 1990 to 2021 and looks ten years ahead.

The team drew deaths and years of healthy life lost from a global burden data set. A join-point method tracks where trends bend over time, and a forecast model projects the next decade. They also weigh how each land's level of wealth and schooling lines up with its burden. The side-by-side view aims to show where the two regions split, and what traits may track with that split. Such maps help aim quit-smoking work where it pays most.
