      I wonder how testing quality and frequency compares.
      Looks more like a comparison of these parameters than a real statistic of cases to me.

      I’m Italian and I can conf— wait… what is this place? What was I saying?

      Considering life expectancy and the percentage of people over 65 living in the country, Spain and France are doing pretty well.

      Percentage of people over 65 in France and Spain: 20% and 23%.

      Life expectancy in France and Spain compared to other countries in Europe: 9th and 6th.

      Trying to find the pattern here. What’s common between Italy and Germany? What’s common between N.Macedonia and Turkey?

      Considering the Gap (only 1.2k for France vs 2k for Germany or Italy) the real discussion should be about the way the survey was conducted, conditions, diagnosis about the disease precisely because there are alot of variations in Alzheimer itself.

      I would prefer a graph of % of >80 years living in dedicated eldery care or not, autonomy or not

      must be related to smoking. It’s related to many things. At least 12. Stress and alcohol
      is one of them.

      Expected lifespan adjustment?

      Detection and diagnosis rates?

      Finland used to be world #1 in Alzheimer’s, I wonder what changed

      overlay these maps on this:

      1. Demographic Age
      2. Medical availability
      3. Life Expectancy

      Almost like you will see a pattern

      The post has no context .. “How much attention per country is given to Alzheimer’s research ” is a better title.

      Interesting data. The regional differences are quite noticeable, would be good to understand what factors contribute to that

      I generally find such overviews somewhat difficult. This is because they usually deal with very complex topics that are difficult to compare using simple figures. As I said, it may be due to differences in the quality of diagnostics. It may be due to differences in the willingness or ability of the population to undergo medical examinations, or simply to different definitions for the same disease.

      There was also a similar graph here showing the number of people with alcoholism. There, the figures for Russia, for example, were also surprisingly low compared to many Western countries.
      A good explanation for this was simply that significantly fewer people in Russia seek treatment for alcoholism and that the definition of when someone is considered an alcoholic is different from that in Western countries.

      Let me guess. The longlivety of people in the countiries reflect how much alzheiner there is?

    23. Electricbell20 on

      Suspect that if you correct for life expectancy, particulate matter pollution explains the differences.

      Also, it’s not exactly a hidden disease by the time people go for diagnosis.

    24. doridos7 on

      It should’ve be “per 100,000 old people” so it could give the exact comparison

      % of the population in old and very old age is a huge part of this.
