The global prevalence of dementia: A systematic review and metaanalysis

Abstract: The detailed estimates in this study constitute the best current basis for policymaking, planning, and allocation of health and welfare resources in dementia care. The age-specific prevalence of dementia varies little between world regions, and may converge further. Future projections of numbers of people with dementia may be modified substantially by preventive interventions (lowering incidence), improvements in treatment and care (prolonging survival), and disease-modifying interventions (preventing or slowi… Show more

“…The disorder has mostly been conceived as a disease that older people suffer from (Prince et al, 2013), but younger people may also have a dementia disorder and are often referred to as people with young-onset dementia (YOD). Compared to the calculated 78,000 people above the age of 65 years with dementia in Norway, the number of people with YOD in Norway is estimated to be 4,500–5,000 (Engedal & Laks, 2017; Prince et al, 2013; Zhu et al, 2015). …”

“…About 5 million Americans were afflicted with AD in 2013 [2] and this number is projected to be 14 million in the USA alone by the year 2050. Worldwide, nearly 44 million individuals are currently afflicted with this disease [3]. The cost of caring for AD patients in the US was estimated to be $226 billion in 2015 with the global cost for caring estimated to be $605 billion [4].…”

“…The growth of the aging population has resulted in an increasing number of elderly people being affected by the two most common diseases of the aging brain, i.e., stroke and dementia [1,2]. To increase the possibility of aging successfully without cognitive or physical disability, there is a pressing need for health screening in aging subjects.…”

“…The aims of this study on a large sample of adult, elderly, and old cognitively healthy subjects with no lifetime history of neurological dysfunctions and no clinically overt neurological diseases are: (1) to evaluate the number and types of ISNAs using a standard neurological examination; (2) to verify whether ISNAs are related to imaging-detected cerebrovascular pathology and to a likely marker of brain atrophy such as subcortical atrophy; (3) to evaluate whether these imaging findings have an independent or synergistic effect on the presence of ISNAs, and (4) to identify the relationship between ISNAs and the topographical location of imaging-detected cerebrovascular lesions. In this paper, the terms ''adult'', ''elderly'', and ''old'' are used to indicate people aged 45-64, 65-74, and [75 years, respectively.…”
