In 2023, Alzheimer's disease mortality in the US was recorded at 142 thousand deaths. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual increase in mortality, with the value projected to rise to 158.37 thousand deaths by 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation indicates a consistent growth trend of approximately 2% annually over the forecast period, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) likewise highlighting an upward trajectory over five years.
Future trends to watch include:
- Advancements in Alzheimer's treatment and prevention, which could potentially slow the growth rate in mortality.
- Demographic changes, particularly the aging population, which may impact the rate of increase in Alzheimer's fatalities.
- Policy developments in healthcare that aim to allocate more resources towards neurodegenerative disease research.
