The number of people living with dementia is not routinely monitored in Brazil. However, there is monitoring of causes of death based on death certificates. Alzheimer’s disease can be recorded on these. Data collection is carried out through Datasus (an online public database from the Ministry of Health) (Datasus, 2019).
