In 2023, the mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease in the UK was recorded at approximately 10.76 thousand male deaths. In 2024, the forecast suggests a rise to 11.43 thousand, indicating a year-on-year increase of approximately 6.2%. This upward trend continues, with projected figures in 2025 and 2026 showing annual increases of about 5.9% and 5.4%, respectively. By 2027 and 2028, the rate is expected to reach 13.42 thousand and 14.07 thousand, marking year-on-year growth rates of 5.2% and 4.8%. The compound annual growth rate over this period averages around 5.4%.
Future trends to watch for include potential advances in medical treatments and diagnostics, which could impact Alzheimer's mortality rates. Additionally, demographic shifts such as an aging population could influence these trends, potentially altering the growth trajectory of Alzheimer's-related deaths.
