abstract = {The predicted prevalence of people with dementia (PWD) in
Germany has risen to 1.8 million since 2010. In the near
future, we will see the approval of antibody therapies. The
study aims to demonstrate the recent anti-dementia
medication prescriptions and diagnosis prevalence.Data from
357 general practitioner (GP) and 71 specialist practices
(SP) (1.1 Mio. patients) were analyzed to demonstrate the
prevalence of dementia diagnoses and anti-dementia drug
prescriptions between 2010 and 2021.The diagnosis prevalence
of PWD (Alzheimer's dementia) remained relatively constant
in GP practices at $1.0-1.3\%$ $(0.19-0.21\%).$ Among SP,
the prevalence increased from $4.9\%$ $(2.8\%)$ to $5.9\%$
$(3.6\%).$ The anti-dementia prescription rate decreased in
GP (from $0.14\%$ to $0.10\%)$ and increased in SP practices
(from $2.1\%$ to $2.4\%).The$ diagnosis and prescription
rate, especially in GP practices, remained below the
prevalence forecasts and the expected prescriptions.},
