Here are some additional staggering Alzheimer’s disease statistics
One in eight Americans age sixty-five or older and nearly half of those over eighty-five had Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in 2008.
In 2008, AD surpassed diabetes as the sixth leading cause of death in the United states, according to the Centre for disease Control and prevention (CDC).
The annual direct and indirect costs of caring for people with AD is north of $ 400 billion, according to the national Institute on Aging.
