abstract = {Currently, there are 1.7 million people living with
dementia (PwD) in Germany. This number is expected to double
within the next decades. Estimates of the total societal
economic burden of dementia are currently missing.The aim
was to estimate the current and future total cost and excess
cost of dementia from a public payer and societal
perspective.Studies demonstrating the healthcare resource
utilization of PwD in Germany were identified. Utilization
data were aggregated using the sample size of different
studies as a weight. Annual per capita costs of PwD and
excess cost of dementia were calculated using standardized
unit costs. Current and future costs were calculated based
on published prevalence and population forecasts.PwD living
at home had lower costs from a payer perspective compared
to those who are institutionalized, but higher total
societal cost due to the higher informal care time. The
total cost for PwD from a payer perspective was
34 billion € in 2016. These costs could reach
90 billion € by 2060. The excess cost of dementia was
18 billion € in 2016 and is estimated to become
49 billion € by 2060 from a payer perspective,
representing $54\%$ of the total cost of PwD and up to
$15\%$ of the total costs associated with the elderly
population. The total societal cost was 73 billion € in
2016 and is estimated to become 194 billion € by 2060.
The excess cost of dementia was 54 billion € in 2016
and is estimated to become 145 billion € by 2060,
representing $74\%$ of the total societal cost of PwD and
$36\%$ of the total societal cost of the elderly.Dementia
diseases represent a tremendous social and economic burden.
Without a cure, supporting caregivers and implementing
interventions that delay the functional and cognitive
decline will be crucial to relieving the increasing costs.},
