# Dementia death rate (age-standardised)

Deaths from [object Object] (ICD-10 F01 and F03) per 100,000 inhabitants, age-standardised to the revised European Standard Population of 2013. Both sexes, all ages, by place of residence (Eurostat causes of death statistics).

## Key facts

- Dementia death rate (age-standardised) in the European Union (27) was 34.1 per 100,000 people in 2023, according to Eurostat, European Commission.
- The Netherlands had the highest dementia death rate (age-standardised) of 27 EU countries in 2023, at 76.9 per 100,000 people, and Romania the lowest, at 0 per 100,000 people. Source: Eurostat, European Commission.
- Published for 263 places, with figures from 2011 to 2023.

- Indicator id: `standardised_death_rate_dementia`
- Unit: per 100,000 people
- Note: Alzheimer disease (G30) is not included; see standardised_death_rate_alzheimer. Countries differ widely in how often they record dementia as the underlying cause, which explains much of the gap between them. Age standardisation removes the effect of different age structures, so EU countries and regions can be compared with each other. US age-adjusted rates use the 2000 US standard population and are not comparable with these. Death certification and cause coding differ between countries, and Eurostat flags some values as following a different definition. Eurostat publishes these rates about two and a half years after the reference year.
