Abstract

Introduction. Neurodegenerative diseases correspond to diseases caused by the progressive loss of neurons in the structures of the nervous system, resulting in gradual functional changes. Objective. describe variables related to neurodegenerative diseases in adults and the elderly in Brazil. Method. This is a descriptive epidemiological study, built from data collected from the SUS Department of Informatics, through the TabNet tool. The ICD-10 morbidity list included Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Results. In the period from december 2010 to december 2020, hospitalizations for neurodegenerative diseases totaled almost 51,000 cases, representing approximately 570,000 days of stay and just over 3,000 death records. Conclusion. There was a growing trend in the records of hospitalizations for neurodegenerative diseases, as well as in the number of deaths. there is a need for greater investments in measures that promote healthy aging.
