Alzheimer’s Disease – Epidemiology – Emerging Markets

Clarivate Epidemiology’s coverage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) comprises epidemiological estimates of key patient populations in the emerging pharmaceutical markets (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, and Turkey). We report both the incidence and prevalence of AD for each country and the number of drug-treatment opportunities in each market.

Clarivate Epidemiology’s AD forecast will answer the following questions:

  • How will changes in the levels of exposure to known risk or protective factors affect the number of people diagnosed with AD per year?
  • How will improvements in survival change the number of people living with a diagnosis of AD?
  • Of all people with AD, how many in each of the emerging pharmaceutical markets have been formally diagnosed?
  • Of all people diagnosed with AD, how many in each of the emerging pharmaceutical markets are drug-treated?
  • How will demographic trends, such as population aging and improving life expectancy, affect the epidemiology of AD over the forecast period?

All forecast data are available on the Clarivate Insights Platform in tabular format, with options to download to MS Excel. All populations are accompanied by a comprehensive description of the methods and data sources used, with hyperlinks to external sources. A summary evidence table generated as part of our systematic review of the epidemiological literature is provided for full transparency into research and methods.

In addition to the total number of cases for each forecast year, Clarivate Epidemiology provides at least 10 years of forecast data for the following AD subpopulations:

  • Total prevalent cases of asymptomatic AD.
  • Total prevalent cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD by symptoms.
  • Total prevalent cases of symptomatic MCI due to AD by diagnosis status.
  • Total prevalent cases of AD.
  • Total prevalent cases of AD by severity (mild, moderate, severe).
  • Total prevalent cases of AD by diagnosis status.
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of AD by symptom status (agitation, depression, psychosis).
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of MCI due to AD by drug-treatment status.
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of AD by drug-treatment status.
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of mild AD by drug-treatment status.
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of moderate AD by drug-treatment status.
  • Diagnosed prevalent cases of severe AD by drug-treatment status.
