Israeli Dementia Incidence Trends by Age and Sex, 2011–2019

A 9-year nationwide study found declining dementia incidence in Israel from 2011 to 2019. The data includes age- and sex-specific annual incidence rates for early-onset (ages 45–64) and late-onset (ages 65+) dementia. This supplementary material was published on figshare by an admin for Karger in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze secular trends in dementia incidence based on the 9-year time series
• Compare sex-specific patterns in early- and late-onset dementia based on reported rates
• Model annual percentage changes (APCs) in incidence across different age groups
• Assess public health implications for dementia surveillance and policy based on the study conclusions

Strengths

• Nationwide coverage using electronic health records from all four Israeli health maintenance organizations
• Reports specific incidence rates per 100 individuals (e.g., 0.04 for early-onset, 1.55 for late-onset)
• Includes statistically significant annual percentage changes (APCs) for detailed age groups over a 9-year period

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small (34.4 KB), suggesting it contains summary statistics rather than raw patient-level data
