The number of people in England diagnosed with dementia has risen by 62% over seven years.
In 2013-14, 344,000 people received a diagnosis - up from 213,000 in 2006-07, when statistics were first collected.
The provisional figures also suggest an 8% rise in the number of recorded dementia cases since 2012-13.
The rise could be due to a number of factors, including an ageing population and improved diagnosis, the Health and Social Care Information Centre said.
