Topic: Amyloid, tau and blood-test diagnosis
In China, the crude mortality from AD and other forms of dementia increased from 2009 to 2015, but the age-standardized mortality decreased. The YLLs of AD and other forms of dementia increased during the study period. The age-standardized mortality in the east was higher than those in the west and middle regions, and the age-standardized mortality in rural areas was higher than that in urban areas. In China, the age-standardized mortality of AD and other forms of dementia decreased from 2009 to 2015. However, the disease burden from AD and other forms of dementia is becoming heavier due to increasing elderly population. Moreover, there were geographic variations and urban-rural differences in mortality of AD and other forms of dementia in China.

Key findings
- In China, the crude mortality from AD and other forms of dementia increased from 2009 to 2015, but the age-standardized mortality decreased.
- The YLLs of AD and other forms of dementia increased during the study period.
- The age-standardized mortality in the east was higher than those in the west and middle regions, and the age-standardized mortality in rural areas was higher than that in urban areas.
- In China, the age-standardized mortality of AD and other forms of dementia decreased from 2009 to 2015.
- However, the disease burden from AD and other forms of dementia is becoming heavier due to increasing elderly population.
Why it matters
This study found that in China, the age-standardized mortality from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias decreased from 2009 to 2015, but the total burden increased due to the growing elderly population. It describes mortality trends and does not evaluate any treatment, cure, or prevention.
