According to a study published in 2019 that systematically analysed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, there were 80,600 deaths (69,174 to 94,940; 95% confidence interval) due to dementia in Brazil in 2016 (GBD 2016, 2019). We could not find specific data for YLL. However, a subnational analysis of the Global Burden of Disease carried out for Brazil (from 1990 to 2016) described a small and non-significant increase in the age-standardised YLL rate of 2.7% (-1.3% to 7.0%) for Alzheimer’s disease over the observed period (GBD 2016, 2018).

As of July 2018, dementia was the 8^th and 5^th leading cause of death for males and females, respectively (Healthy HK, 2018, July 19). In 2017, a total of 1,455 people (557 males, 898 females) lost their life due to dementia, which accounted for 3.1% of the total deaths (Centre for Health Protection, 2019). Between 2001 and 2009, people aged 60 and above who died due to dementia, were doubled from 1% to 2% of all deaths. The age-standardised mortality rate (per 100,000 population) of dementia increased from 23.3 to 47.3 for males, and from 45.6 to 62.0 for females. The mortality rates increased exponentially with age (Yu et al., 2012). Between 2001 and 2010, there were 145 deaths of centenarian due to dementia (Yu et al., 2017).

The disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to dementia for people aged 60 and above was 286,313 in 2006, which included 83,051 (29%) for males and 203,262 (71%) for females. Most of the burden was due to disability, with 284,326 (99%) of years lost due to disability (YLDs) and 1,987 (1%) of years of life lost (YLLs) (Yu et al., 2012).

As per the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study (India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative Neurological Disorders Collaborators, 2021), an estimated 129,000 deaths were attributed to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in 2019. GBD estimates (2019) indicate there were 117.14 Years of Life Lost (YLL’s) per 100,000 due to dementia (IHME, 2019).

A total of 3205 deaths were attributed to dementia in 2016 showing an increase of 15.3% (95% UI 2.0 to 43.5) in age-standardised rates from 1990 to 2016 (Nichols et al., 2019). However, there is no information on YLL due to dementia specifically for Kenya.

Table 39 outlines the years of lives lost (YLL) due to dementia from the 2019 Global burden of disease report (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, n.d.). Alzheimer’s and other dementias ranked as the 7^th highest cause of YLL, up from 12^th 20 years earlier, at 20,000 years.
