ures in the SNAC-K population of the same age group were 15.1%, 9.8%, and 17.3%. The overall mortality rates (per 100 person-years) of patients with dementia were 26.2% (95% CI 23.0-29.4) in the KP population, and 21.3% (95% CI 18.5-24.1) in the SNAC-K population (P>0.05). Conclusions: There is no convincing evidence suggesting that the prevalence and case-fatality rates of dementia have been changed over the 15-year period in central Stockholm, Sweden. This implies that on an average the incidence of dementia is relatively stable.
