Prevalence and incidence of clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease dementia from 1994 to 2012 in a population study
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: The trends in prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia remain uncertain. Methods: A sample of 2794 participants with a clinical diagnosis for AD dementia were included. Results: The 2010 census standardized prevalence of AD dementia was 14.5% (95% CI = 13.7–15.3), and annual incidence was 2.3% (1.7–2.9). Both prevalence and incidence showed substantial variation over time, but no secular trends. The prevalence of AD dementia did not change significantly from 14.6% (95% CI = 13.0, 16.2) in 1994–1997 to 14.7% (95% CI = 13.2, 16.2) in 2010–2012 (P = .84). The annual incidence of AD dementia was 2.8% (95% CI = 2.2, 3.2) in 1998–2000 and 2.2% (95% CI = 1.6, 2.8) in 2004–2006 (P = .20) and remained steady in 2010–2012. The prevalence and incidence among African Americans were approximately twice than those among European Americans. Conclusions: The prevalence and incidence of AD dementia showed substantial variation between 1994 and 2012, but no secular trend.

In the citing paper
“in 2011 the average annual incidence in people age 65 to 74 was 0.4% (meaning four of every 1,000 people age 65 to 74 developed Alzheimer's dementia in 2011); in people age 75 to 84, the annual incidence was 3.2% (32 of every 1,000 people); and in people age 85 and older, the incidence was 7.6% (76 of every 1,000 people).259”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
