Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of dissociative amnesia is 1,000 to 2,600 per 100,000 (1.0% to 2.6%) of the overall population.[1]
- Prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is 20% over the age of 85.[2]
- The prevalence of dissociative fugue is approximately 0.2%. This might be underestimated as dissociative fugue is under diagnosed.[3]
- Worldwide prevalence of Korsakoff Syndrome is 0-2% and 1-2% in the United States. Prevalence is higher in elderly living by themselves, psychiatric inpatients and the homeless.[4]
Incidence
- Worldwide, the incidence of transient global amnesia is approximately 2.9– 10 per 100,000 cases per year. [5]
- Incidence of dissociative disorder is higher in substance abuse cases.
Gender
- Higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is seen in women than men.[6]
Race
- Males are more affected by Korsakoff Syndrome than females.
