The hospitalization trend was stable across both sexes, all age groups, and most regions (4.88\/100 thousand hospitalizations), except for the Northeast, which showed a significant increase (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.408; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The profile of AD hospitalizations in Brazil is predominantly female, in individuals over 80 and white.
