    As we age, the brain's cognitive abilities decline and dementia seems inevitable
    .


    International research on the prevalence of adolescent dementia is insufficient
    .


    The researchers conducted a population-based descriptive study
    in New Zealand (population 4.


    The results showed that in the total population of 4027332-4169754 people aged 0-64 years, 3396-3474 cases of "all-cause" dementia were found in each study year (rough prevalence range: 0-64 years 83-84/100000 people; 30-64 years old 139-141/100,000 people; 45-64 years old 204-207/100 000 people
    ).


    By using a large study population and multiple national health datasets, the study minimized selection bias and accurately estimated the prevalence of diagnosed young dementia across the country
    .


    In summary, the global prevalence of adolescent dementia is much higher than recognized, and although the prevalence varies by race, it has important implications
    for service planning.
