Study finds life expectancy after dementia diagnosis varies by age, type, with significant nursing home transitions.
A recent study by Erasmus MC University Medical Centre in the Netherlands found that life expectancy after a dementia diagnosis varies significantly by age and type of dementia.
For those diagnosed at 60, average survival is nine years for women and 6.5 years for men, decreasing to 4.5 and 2 years respectively for those diagnosed at 85.
People with Alzheimer's live 1.4 years longer than those with other forms.
The study also noted that 13% move to nursing homes in the first year, increasing to 57% within five years, with an average time of 3.3 years before nursing home admission.
