Alzheimer’s disease in Seniors, Comfikare Homecare, Maryland
It is interesting to note that developed nations have reported the highest case of dementia, though the prevalence is substantially worldwide. In western countries, Alzheimer's disease accounts for roughly 60% of cases of dementia, with vascular dementia accounting for the remaining 20% of cases, as reported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The cases of dementia have increased significantly from 2% to 5% among people aged 70 to 75 years to 20% to 25% for those 85 years or older.
The prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer's disease is highest in Western Europe (and second highest in North America), and lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa. The likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease or another kind of dementia is roughly 1.5 times higher in Hispanics than in other races (whites).
The National Institute of Aging has reported that the frequency of Alzheimer's disease doubles every five years after the age of 65, and currently, every 66 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease.
