Racial and ethnic estimates of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the United States (2015–2060) in adults aged ≥65 years
Alzheimer's & Dementia Sep 23, 2018
Matthews KA, et al. - Researchers estimated the future United States (US) burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) by age, sex, and race and ethnicity by applying subgroup-specific prevalence among Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries aged ≥ 65 years in 2014 to subgroup-specific population estimates for 2014 and population projection data from the US Census Bureau for 2015 to 2060. Findings revealed that the burden of ADRD in 2014 was an estimated 5.0 million adults aged ≥ 65 years or 1.6% of the population. Significant disparities were found in ADRD prevalence among population subgroups defined by race and ethnicity. Results of this study suggested that ADRD burden is expected to more than double to nearly 3.3% of the US population in 2060.
