“EpiCast Report: Alzheimer's Disease - Epidemiology Forecast to 2022”

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in people age 60 years and older and accounts for approximately 75% of the total dementia cases worldwide (Qui et al., 2009). The global prevalence of dementia is estimated to be 3.9% in people age 60 years and older, with an overall Alzheimer's disease prevalence of 9.7% in the US, 4.4% in Europe, and 3.4% in developing countries (Kalaria et al., 2008; Lobo et al., 2000; Plassman et al., 2007). An explosive increase in the number of prevalent cases of Alzheimer's disease in all nine markets is expected during the forecast period. GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that prevalent cases of Alzheimer's disease In the nine major markets (the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, China, and India) are expected to increase from 12.53 million cases in 2012 to 16.72 million cases in 2022 with an annual growth rate (AGR) of 3.35%.

The global burden of the disease is expected to increase due to rapidly aging populations in different parts of the world. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease (Mayo Clinic, 2013). Due to the progressive nature of Alzheimer's disease, along with the aging world population, there will be a significant demand for care of persons affected with the disease.
