Abstract:
To analyze the dynamics and structure of the incidence and prevalence of vascular dementia (according to the appeal to psychiatric institutions) in the regions of the North-West Federal District in 2010-2019.
Material And Methods:
Study design is descriptive epidemiological. We analyzed the data of 11 entities that are part of the North-West Federal District, including in comparison with general indicators for the Russian Federation.
Results:
There was an increase in the prevalence and a decrease in the incidence of vascular dementia in 2019 compared to 2010. In the Northwestern Federal District, both indicators were higher than all-Russian ones. A small number of cases of vascular dementia can be observed at a young age, but its exponential growth is observed after 60 years. Among previously ill vascular dementia and newly diagnosed, there is an almost twofold predominance of women.
Conclusion:
The results can be used in solving issues of the organization of psychiatric care and developing prevention algorithms for vascular dementia.
