Critical update: One disease. Millions of lives permanently disrupted.
I have an important new report to share with you. The Alzheimer’s Association Alzheimer’s Disease 2015 Facts and Figures, released today, highlights the devastating human and economic costs of the Alzheimer’s epidemic. Alzheimer’s disease is taking more than memories — it’s taking lives.
Alzheimer’s disrupts the lives of individuals, families and our communities, killing more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. Between 2000 and 2012, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease increased 69 percent, while those attributed to the number one cause of death, heart disease, decreased 16 percent.
We must take action to change the course of Alzheimer’s disease. Help us spread awareness by downloading the report and sharing the facts.
