Forecast: Alzheimer's Disease Mortality in the US

The forecasted mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease in the US among women is projected to increase from 61.6 deaths per hundred thousand in 2024 to 67.5 in 2028. This indicates a steady increase in the mortality rate, with each year experiencing a rise of about 2.4% on average. In comparison, the rate stood relatively stable before 2023, suggesting a concerning upward trend moving forward. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast five-year period is estimated to be 2.3%, reflecting the increasing impact of Alzheimer's disease on female populations.

Future trends to watch for include:

  • Advancements in medical research and treatment options for Alzheimer's disease that could potentially alter the current forecast.
  • Increased emphasis on public health policy and awareness to mitigate the impact of Alzheimer's through early diagnosis and intervention.
  • Demographic shifts in the aging population that may further influence mortality rates.
