Abstract

Background: Current estimates of dementia and Alzheimer's disease incidence and prevalence are required to understand the health needs of the elderly.

Objective: We used two Australia cohort studies, administrative datasets, and data linkage techniques to estimate dementia rates in Australia.

Methods: The study used Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health and the Health in Men Cohort Study. Records of dementia were obtained from linked sources and incidence and prevalence estimates were produced. Capture-recapture methods were used to estimate numbers of dementia cases not identified through data linkage.

Results: There were 3399 (28.5%) men with dementia identified from any source and 3767 (34.8%) women. Rates of dementia incidence and prevalence were similar between sexes but were raised in men once estimates of unidentified cases were included.

Conclusions: Cohort studies and linked administrative data can be used together to produce current estimates of dementia prevalence and incidence comparable to other population estimates.

利用与队列研究相关联的行政数据估算痴呆症发病率。

背景：要了解老年人的健康需求，就必须对痴呆症和阿尔茨海默病的发病率和流行率做出最新估计：我们利用两项澳大利亚队列研究、行政数据集和数据关联技术来估算澳大利亚的痴呆症发病率：研究采用了澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究和男性健康队列研究。从链接的数据源中获取痴呆症记录，并对发病率和流行率进行估算。采用捕获-再捕获方法估算未通过数据链接确定的痴呆症病例数：从任何来源发现的痴呆症患者中，男性为 3399 人（28.5%），女性为 3767 人（34.8%）。男女痴呆症发病率和患病率相似，但一旦纳入未识别病例的估计值，男性痴呆症发病率和患病率就会上升：队列研究和关联的行政数据可用于得出当前痴呆症患病率和发病率的估计值，与其他人口估计值相当。
