Results: Cerebral atrophy began to be found in the age group of 20-39 years, the largest gender was male (56%), the highest level of education in patients with cerebral atrophy was elementary school / equivalent (66.7%) and D1 to D3 (66.7%), and from the area of residence, patients who experienced cerebral atrophy mostly lived in urban areas (58.7%). The age of onset of cerebral atrophy was found to be 20 years old. The types of cerebral atrophy found in the study subjects were cortical atrophy as many as 49 people (53.8%) and global atrophy as many as 10 people (11%). There was no significant relationship between age and the incidence of cerebral atrophy in patients at H.
