Alzheimer's Disease: Slideshow

[Retired]

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. It is a terminal degenerative disease resulting in progressive cognitive and behavioral impairment.

Alzheimer's disease affects approximately 5.2 million people in the United States at a cost of roughly $84 billion per year.

With a steadily increasing American population aged 65 years and older, 7.7 million people are predicted to suffer from Alzheimer's disease by 2030 and an estimated 11-16 million by 2050
