Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) cause a high burden of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Age, race, and ethnicity are important risk factors for ADRD.
We estimated the future US burden of 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 United States Census Bureau for 2015 to 2060.
The burden of ADRD in 2014 was an estimated 5.0 million adults aged ≥65 years or 1.6% of the population, and there are significant disparities in ADRD prevalence among population subgroups defined by race and ethnicity. ADRD burden will double to 3.3% by 2060 when 13.9 million Americans are projected to have the disease.
These estimates can be used to guide planning and interventions related to caring for the ADRD population and supporting caregivers.
阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)在美国造成了很高的发病率和死亡率负担。年龄、种族和民族是 ADRD 的重要危险因素。
我们通过将 2014 年医疗保险费服务受益人的≥65 岁年龄组的特定亚组患病率应用于 2014 年的特定亚组人口估计数以及美国人口普查局的人口预测数据,估计了未来美国 ADRD 的负担。2015 年至 2060 年。
2014 年,ADRD 的负担估计为 500 万≥65 岁的成年人,占总人口的 1.6%,并且在按种族和民族定义的人口亚组中,ADRD 的患病率存在显著差异。到 2060 年,ADRD 的负担将翻一番,届时预计将有 1390 万美国人患有该病。
这些估计数可用于指导与照顾 ADRD 人群和支持护理人员相关的规划和干预措施。
