Approximately 6 to 6.5 million people in the United States are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Most are age 65 and older, but there are about 200,000 people under the age of 65 with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. With the number of Alzheimer’s cases alone projected to rise to an estimated 14 million people by the year 2060, this is one show you do not want to miss.
