Resumo: dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Dementia is a term used to describe a set of symptoms that affect brain functions, such as problems with memory, reasoning, language and behavior. It is a chronic and progressive condition, that is, it worsens over time and has no cure, although there are treatment options to alleviate the signs and symptoms. Dementia can be caused by several conditions, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common form, accounting for around 80 to 90% of cases, followed by vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and other less common forms. The condition is the leading cause of morbidity among the elderly. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations and deaths due to dementia in the Brazilian population in the year 2023. Methodology: This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, quantitative and retrospective study, carried out by analyzing hospital morbidity indicators from the Information System Hospital (SIH) of the SUS (unified health system) Information and IT Department (DATASUS). Variables such as sex, age group, color/race, federative unit and region were analyzed from January to December 2023. Results: The total number of hospitalizations in 2023 was 3,360, with a total number of deaths of 445 and a mortality rate of 13.24%.pt_BR
