This report presents a comprehensive picture of people with younger onset dementia, using 2 linked data sets:
- the National Integrated Health Services Information Analysis Asset (NIHISI AA)
- the Multi-Agency Data Integration Project (MADIP).
People with younger onset dementia were identified using pharmaceutical claims for dementia-specific medication. The linked data were then used to describe social characteristics from the 2016 Census, patterns of Centrelink payments, and patterns of health service use, residential aged care service use and causes of death.
