Description
The GBD 2016 Dementia Collaborators published this global dementia analysis in 2019. More people are living with dementia each year, which strains families, communities, and health systems. A sound response starts with an accurate count of the burden.
The study reports cases, deaths, and disability from Alzheimer disease and other dementias across most countries. Numbers rose mainly because populations grew older and larger. Rates at a given age changed little in many regions. The authors argue that prevention of risk factors like smoking and high blood pressure is the main lever available while cures remain out of reach.
