Dementia significantly increases mortality risk, with risk escalating with disease severity. Alzheimer's disease may show a more favorable prognosis, but more research is needed on influencing factors.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neurology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Dementia is a growing global health concern.
  • Understanding mortality risk associated with dementia is crucial for patient care and public health planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the mortality risk in dementia.
  • To identify potential factors influencing dementia-related mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of population-based studies.
  • Searched PubMed, Web of Science, and PSYNDEXplus databases.
  • Included studies published within the last 15 years.

Main Results:

  • All dementia types are linked to substantially increased mortality.

  • Mortality risk increases with dementia severity.
  • Alzheimer's disease may have a relatively better survival course.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dementia poses a significant mortality risk, directly correlated with disease progression.
    • Further research is required to conclusively determine the impact of age, sex, comorbidity, APOE polymorphism, and depressive symptoms on dementia mortality.
