About
The data quantifies worldwide mortality rates attributed to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Alzheimer's disease represents the most prevalent type of dementia. Dementia patients exhibit a decline in cognitive functions, including memory, language capacity, judgment, and orientation, often accompanied by changes in behaviour or mood. The death rates provided are age-standardised and cover both sexes, offering vital metrics for understanding the global burden of these neurological conditions.
Columns
The dataset contains four distinct fields:
- Entity (country): Lists the country or territory, featuring 228 unique geographical entries.
- Code (codes): Contains corresponding country codes.
- Year (year): Specifies the time point for which the mortality rate is reported.
- Deaths - Alzheimer's disease and other dementias - Sex: Both - Age: Age-standardized (Rate) (deaths): Provides the recorded death rate, measured in deaths per 100,000 people.
Distribution
The raw data is typically formatted as a CSV file, such as
dementia-death-rates new.csv. The structure consists of 4 columns and includes a total of 6840 valid records. The mean death rate reported across all records is approximately 23.2 deaths per 100,000 people.Usage
This data product is ideal for tracking long-term global health trends related to cognitive disorders and mortality. It supports epidemiological analysis, helping researchers assess the impact of dementia worldwide. It is suitable for creating data visualisations using tools such as PowerBi, Tableau, or Loocker studio to illustrate geographic disparities in death rates. The dataset can inform public health policy and resource allocation decisions aimed at neurological care.
Coverage
The data spans globally, covering 228 distinct entities and countries. The time frame for the recorded rates extends from 1990 through to 2019. All rates are calculated to be age-standardised and include both male and female populations.
