Population-based trend analysis reveals a 13% per-decade decline in dementia incidence across Europe and North America, highlighting shifting risk factor profiles.

Key Points

To evaluate multi-decade secular trends in dementia incidence across Europe and North America.
Synthesis of longitudinal incidence data spanning approximately 25 to 27 years from population studies in Europe and North America.
Evaluation of per-decade changes in dementia incidence overall and stratified by sex.
Dementia incidence declined by 13% per decade over the past 25 years consistently across the analyzed studies.
Overall dementia incidence rates remained similar between sexes, though downward trends were somewhat more pronounced among men.
