There are some scary stats about the future of Alzheimer's and dementia.
35.6 million w/ Alzheimer's in 2010
and the number is expected to DOUBLE every couple decades!
(To clarify, dementia is a set of symptoms caused by a progressive decrease in cognitive function. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that is incurable and causes death.)
So how big a deal is this? Alzheimer's Disease International is recommending that the World Health Organization declare dementia a priority because of the growing elderly population.
