The Alzheimer’s Association states that Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and that more than 5 million Americans are affected by the condition. Additionally, one out of three seniors dies of Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia. That number will likely increase as the aging population increases.
Scientists have been researching Alzheimer’s for decades, but still there is no cure. Learn more in this slideshow about how genes are related to the development of Alzheimer’s, as well as other potential causes of the condition.
