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.
