Alzeimers statistics
About 4.5 million Americans suffer from Altzheimers. The numbers of Americans that have Altzeimers have more than doubled since 1980. By 2015 the numbers of Americans with Alzheimers could well be as many as 16 million. People under 60 may also get Alzimers, but this is not common. Around 5% of all people over the age of 65 have the Familial Altzheimers type, and almost 50% of all persons over 85 may have Altzheimers. But the condition is not a normal part of aging.Altzheimers types:
- Alzheimers disease and vascular dementia can occur in a “mixed” form. But this is not usual.
- Familial Altzeimers disease (FAD) is a type that occurs between the ages of 30 and 60l. This variety is entirely inherited. It’s very unusual - only 1% of all the cases is of the familial variety.
- Early-onset Alzhimers; This form of is diagnosed before the age of 65. Early-onset Alzeimers is very unusual. Approximately 10% of all people with the disease, have the early-onset type. People with Downs syndrome risk getting this form of Alzeimers. Adults with Downs syndrome often get Alzheimers in their 40s or early 50s. This type appears somehow to be linked to the chromosome 14. Late-onset Alzhimers is not linked to this chromosome. Myoclonus – a type of spasm and muschel twitching is also more common in early-onset Altzeimers.
- Late-onset Alzhimers; is the most common form of Alzeimers. This type occurs late in life. (after the age of 65). Late-onset Alsheimers is also called sporadic Alzimers.
