Optimal preoperative assessment of the geriatric surgical patient: a best practices guideline from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and the American Geriatrics Society. (2012, background): “9%, respectively.(15,16) The prevalence of dementia increases exponentially with increasing age over 65 years.”
Racial and ethnic estimates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in the United States (2015–2060) in adults aged ≥65 years (2018, methodology): “Although AD is the most common type of ADRD, the prevalence of vascular dementia is higher in African Americans; this is thought to be secondary to known disparities in risk factors for vascular dementia such as cardiovascular disease.”
Clinical epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease: assessing sex and gender differences (2014, neutral): “for the higher prevalence among women may be that they live longer, on average, than men.(44,45) By contrast, incidence”
Cohort Profile: the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). (2014, positive): “The addition of the Aging Demographic, and Memory Study (ADAMS) beginning in 2001, provided the first national data on the prevalence of dementia and cognitive impairment.(31,32) Other studies report on factors that may influence cognitive change,(33,34) the consequences of cognitive decline(35) and”
Alzheimer's Disease: Targeting the Cholinergic System (2016, background): “1016/S0140-6736(05)67889-0 [202] Plassman, B.”
2016 Alzheimer's disease facts and figures (2016, positive): “other population-based studies including the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS), a nationally representative sample of older adults [117,118], Based on estimates from ADAMS, 14 percent of people age 71 and older in the United States have dementia [117].”
Assessment of cognition using surveys and neuropsychological assessment: the Health and Retirement Study and the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study. (2011, methodology): “The ADAMS data, which have been weighted to represent the same national population as the HRS, have also been used to estimate the national prevalence of dementia (13.7% of the age 71+ population) and CIND (22%; Plassman et al., 2007, 2008).”
Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment without Dementia in the United States (2008, background): “In the 71- to 79-year age group, 16% had cognitive impairment without dementia, whereas an additional 5% had dementia (11), suggesting that more than 1 of 5 individuals in this age group has cognitive impairment.”
Alzheimer disease in the United States (2010–2050) estimated using the 2010 census (2013, methodology): “The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study determined US prevalence of AD dementia in 2001–2003 using a nationally representative sample.(18) That study found lower prevalence than estimated in the earlier CHAP article.”
Inequalities in dementia incidence between six racial and ethnic groups over 14 years (2016, background): “Dementia risk is reported to be up to twice as high for African-Americans compared with whites [5,12–15].”
