Alzheimer’s Association has released a Special Report that examines consumers’ and primary care physicians’ perspectives on awareness, diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease.
Some of the information in this year’s Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures includes:
Brain changes that occur with Alzheimer’s disease
Risk factors for Alzheimer’s dementia
Number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s dementia nationally and for each state
Lifetime risk for developing Alzheimer’s dementia
Proportions of women and men with Alzheimer’s and other dementias
Share the facts and join the fight. #AlzheimersinAmerica
