According to the findings of a survey by IPSOS, most countries in the study underestimate the number of people who die from neurological disorders such as dementia or Parkinson's disease each year. Those in India, Hong Kong, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Philippines were the countries to overestimate this number. This statistic shows the actual vs public estimates for number of deaths per 100 which occur as a result of neurological disorders, worldwide as of 2019.
Comparison of average public estimates and actual percentage of deaths resulting from neurological disorders worldwide as of 2019, by country*
Original question: Out of every 100 deaths in [COUNTRY] - about how many are a result of neurological disorders such as dementia or Parkinson's disease?
* The main source of ‘actual’ data for causes of death around the world is the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database for 2017. Please see http://perils.ipsos.com/ for full details of all sources.
