The Willow Glen Walkers Team is again joining Walk to End Alzheimer's, nite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions.
There are now possible treatments as well as blood tests on the horizon, so your support has made and will continue to make a real impact on millions of lives.
Together, we can advance research to treat and prevent Alzheimer's, and provide programs to improve the lives of millions of affected Americans. Together we can provide hope for families affected!
Some 2022 Facts and Figures about Alzheimer's and other dementia:
An estimated 6.5 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's in 2022. Seventy-three percent are age 75 or older.
About 1 in 9 age 65 and older (10.7%) has Alzheimer's.
Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women.
Older Black Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer's or other dementias as older Whites.
Older Hispanics are about one and one-half times as likely to have Alzheimer's or other dementias as older Whites.
As the number of older Americans grows rapidly, so too will the number of new and existing cases of Alzheimer's. By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s may grow to a projected 12.7 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or cure Alzheimer’s disease.
