Did You Know….
- Every 66 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease.
- 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. Of those, 200,000 are under age 65.
- In 2016, Alzheimer's and other dementias will cost the nation $236 billion.
- Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. and the only one that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.
- In 2015, 15.9 million family and friends provided an estimated 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care for those with Alzheimer's and other dementias.
- Alzheimer's kills more than breast cancer & prostate cancer combined, yet research is still grossly underfunded.
