5.5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease and this this number is estimated to quadruple by 2050. Considering this, in addition to the fact that Alzheimer’s disease is currently costing the nation $259 billion annually in healthcare costs and that Alzheimer’s disease related deaths have jumped 55% in the past 15 years, finding a cure or preventative measures is becoming more and more important. Dr. Cynthia Carlsson expressed this when she appeared in a channel3000.com segment on Alzheimer’s disease, saying, “the importance of the research is critical right now. That’s why we see a lot more attention being drawn to it because the numbers are just starting to increase to where we’re going to see that number skyrocket. So, the time to prevent this disease is right now.”
“Alzheimer’s disease deaths climb almost 55%” was posted on Monday, November 13 on channel3000.com.
