N2 - Introduction: Age- and sex-stratified incidence rates of uncommon dementia subtypes are imprecise and scarce. Methods: We used data from 7357 newly diagnosed individuals aged between 30.6 and 101.0 years from the Registry of Dementia of Girona during 2007-2016 to determine the incidence rates of uncommon dementia subtypes stratified by sex and age groups and to describe their clinical characteristics. Results: Uncommon dementia subtypes were classified according to their etiology. The incidence rate of uncommon dementia subtypes was 27.8 cases per 100,000 person-years for those aged 30 years and older, 3.7 cases per 100,000 person-years for people aged less than 65 years, and 110.9 per 100,000 person-years for those aged 65 years and older. Age, sex, dementia severity, and medical comorbidities were different depending on the dementia subtype. Discussion: There are differences in the incidence rates and the demographic and clinical characteristics among uncommon dementia subtypes for age and sex groups.
