The Datasus platform has a Mortality Information System that provides online data about mortality from Alzheimer’s disease. The number of deaths are available from 1996 to 2017 by: location, sex, age, education, ethnicity, and marital status.
Jointly conducted by the Elderly Health Service Department of Health of the Government and the Department of Psychiatry of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the population-based study in 2005-2006 provided the most up-to-date estimates of dementia prevalence in Hong Kong (Elderly Commission, 2006).

Data is not routinely monitored by governmental organisations, research-led organisations, and NGOs.
There is no routinely monitored data about the number of people with dementia by the Ministry of Health or other ministries. The only recent data on dementia prevalence resulted from ADI’s prediction (Prince et al., 2015) and two separate studies in two provinces of Indonesia conducted by an independent research institution, Surveymeter (Suriastini et al., 2016, 2018). More information on incidence and prevalence estimated from these studies can be found in part 2.
