I know multiple people (both my parents) that have it or died from it. The numbers are ataggering.
It is an old age disease. A hundred years ago ithe numbers are not ao bad because everyone died prior to reaching the critical age of Alz.
In 1968 the avg life expectancy (M/F) was 66.6 and 74.
In 2018 76 and 81
The avg age might increase by nearly 10 years but many won't know it because of their zombie state..
