Excess mortality of German men and women aged 60 years and older needing long-term care 2020–2024
Introduction Demographic aging is increasing the demand for long-term care (LTC) in Germany. However, existing projections often rely on prevalence-based models that fail to account for age- and sex-specific trends in incidence and mortality. While dynamic approaches, such as the illness-death model, have improved projections, reliable empirical estimates of mortality rate ratios ( MRR ) for LTC recipients are scarce. This study addresses this ga…
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes from 2011 to 2023 by regional socioeconomic deprivation in Germany
Type 2 diabetes prevalence is increasing globally and is unequally distributed across socioeconomic groups. In Germany, little is known about how these socioeconomic inequalities have developed over time. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the age- and sex-specific prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Germany from 2011 to 2023 and assess related temporal trends in socioeconomic inequality. We used nationwide claims data (N ~ 70 million persons per year)…
Projected number of people in need for long-term care in Germany until 2050
Introduction: Current demographic trends predict continuously growing numbers of individuals reliant on care, which has to be accounted for in future planning of long-term care-resources. The projection of developments becomes especially necessary in order to enable healthcare systems to cope with this future burden and to implement suitable strategies to deal with the demand of long-term care. This study aimed to project the prevalence of long-t…
Using the illness-death model to estimate age- and sex-standardized incidence rates of diabetes in Mexico from 2003 to 2015
Overall, the incidence rate of diabetes in Mexico between the years 2003 and 2015 remained stable. However, rates were markedly higher among women in the age group 40-49 and 50-59 in the year 2015 compared with rates in 2003
