Abstract
Background
Despite increasing global awareness of dementia, reliable estimates of the disease burden associated with Early-Onset Dementia (EOD) remain insufficiently quantified. This study aims to estimate the disease burden of EOD, analyze the burden attributable to risk factors from 1990 to 2021, and project these trends to 2050 at global, regional, and national levels, providing essential data to inform public health policy.
Methods
By utilising data from the GBD 2021 database, this study analysed metrics such as age-standardized prevalence (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (AS-DALYs) for EOD. Joinpoint Regression analysis was used to calculated average annual percent changes (AAPCs) of ASPR, ASMR, and AS-DALYs. Then, the disease burden attributable to high fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high body-mass index (BMI), and tobacco were also reported. Finally, the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was employed to project global ASPR, ASMR and AS-DALYs, as well as ASMR and AS-DALYs attributed to the three risk factors from 2022 to 2050.
Results
In 2021, the global case numbers of prevalence, mortality and DALYs for EOD were 7.75 (95 %UI: 5.82, 10.08) million, 73,386 (14,059, 232,169), and 3.77 (1.69, 8.88) million. Despite large increases in case numbers, AAPCs of ASR (0.08 % [0.02, 0.14], 0.07 % [0.05, 0.1], and 0.08 % [0.05, 0.1]) kept stable. Females exhibited higher case numbers and ASR across all disease burden indicators than males. Region- and country-level geographical heterogeneities were evident. Furthermore, global ASMR and AS-DALYs associated with high BMI and high FPG showed a steady increase, while the growth in ASMR and AS-DALYs attributable to tobacco has declined. To 2050, global case numbers of prevalence, mortality and DALYs for EOD will continue to rise, but ASRs won't change considerably. Females are anticipated to remain at a higher risk. The disease burden associated with high BMI and high FPG are expected to persist in their upward trends, whereas that related to tobacco are projected to decline.
Conclusion
The increasing burden of EOD underscores the critical need for tailored public health strategies and policies, a unique challenge underrecognized before.
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
