Global Study Finds Higher Dementia Rates in Women and Rising Future Cases
A global meta-analysis published in JAMA Neurology found women develop dementia at higher rates than men, with an age-standardised incidence of 10.6 versus 8.6 cases per 1,000 person-years. The study analyzed data from 38,418 adults across 22 population studies in 18 countries. It also projects new dementia cases worldwide could rise from 11.4 million in 2023 to 24.7 million annually by 2050, highlighting growing public health challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
