— 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.
— It kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
— In 2023, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $345 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise to nearly $1 trillion.
— Over 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
— The lifetime risk for Alzheimer’s at age 45 is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men.
— While only 4 in 10 Americans would talk to their doctor right away when experiencing early memory or cognitive loss, 7 in 10 would want to know early if they have Alzheimer’s disease if it could allow for earlier treatment.
