We could not find specific data for YLD due to dementia. However, a subnational analysis of the Global Burden of Disease project carried out for Brazil between 1990 and 2016 (GBD 2016, 2018) described an increase in the age-standardised YLD rate of 4.9% (2.3% to 7.7%) for Alzheimer’s disease over the years analysed.
