Estimated dementia diagnosis rate (aged 65+) (%) (12187) Metric type
- Help text
- The rate of persons aged 65 and over with a recorded diagnosis of dementia per person estimated to have dementia given the characteristics of the population and the age and sex specific prevalence rates of the Cognitive Function and Ageing Study II, expressed as a percentage with 95% confidence intervals. Significance is determined by the non-overlapping of confidence intervals with the 66.7% benchmark. Applying the age and sex-specific 65+ prevalence rates of the CFAS II population (the reference rates) to the age and sex structure of the registered patients in the subject population, yields the number of people aged 65+ one would expect to have dementia within the subject population (the denominator). Dividing the actual number of cases recorded in the subject population (the numerator) by the estimated number yields the estimated diagnosis rate.95% confidence intervals are derived from the 12 individual measures of uncertainty given with the CFAS II reference rates and the uncertainty around the numerator. The indicator is calculated 100,000 times, resampling randomly each time from the distributions of the 13 variables, to produce an overall distribution of indicator values closely approximating the true distribution. The 2,500th smallest and the 2,500th largest values in the distribution give robust estimates of the 95% lower and upper confidence limits respectively to one decimal place.
The data presented for 2017 is for 30th April 2017 as this was the first month of publication. This year and all subsequent years will be presented as at 31st March. For the National/England value the higher figure was chosen which reflects NHS boundaries. The value for 2017 has also been altered to reflect this.
