It has been carefully estimated 5.2 million people in the USA have Alzheimer’s disease; 30 million people worldwide.
It has been projected that unless a cure is found, 16 million people in the USA will develop Alzheimer’s by 2050; 100 million worldwide.
At this rate unless a cure is found, another person develops Alzheimer’s disease every 67 seconds.
1 in 8 older Americans have Alzheimer’s.
More than 200,000 people under the age of 65 have early onset Alzheimer’s disease. As people live beyond the age of 65, their chance of having Alzheimer’s doubles every 5 years.
