Incidence and mortality trends of people living with dementia among 7 million individuals over 10 years in Italy: A retrospective cohort study using administrative linked data
Our study reported a reduction in dementia incidence and increase in all-cause mortality of people living with dementia over the last decade, indicating that dementia prevalence is declining. Moreover, previously under-investigated gender disparities in mortality estimated rates emerged across different age groups during the pandemic.
