The rate of Alzheimer’s disease in America is expected to double by 2060 to 15 million, a new study revealed.
That is up from this year’s rate of 6.08 million Americans that have the debilitating brain disease.
This study – the first of its kind – estimated that 47 million Americans have early signs of Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment.
The alarming numbers highlight the need to develop treatment that could slow the progression of the disorder in people who show early neurological signs of the disease.
