rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/a> in 2019, 5.8 million Americans have Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, which is the most common form of cognitive disorder. The report states that Alzheimer\u2019s disease is diagnosed in 60 \u2013 80% of dementia cases. It is also the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease is a progressive disease that slowly gets worse over time. After diagnosis, most people live an average of four to eight years, with some people living as many as twenty years. The monetary impact of this disease is devastating to families; people leave their employment to care for a parent or other aging family member with dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"42788\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/science\/2025\/11\/04\/november-is-alzheimers-awareness-month\/attachment\/untitled-design-28-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28.png\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled design (28)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28-1024x576.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-28.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Woman and Elderly Man Sitting on Bed. <\/strong>PEXELS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/alzimpact.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AlzImpact.org<\/a> the costs of Alzheimer&#8217;s to Medicare and Medicaid is more than any other disease, including cancer. The cost per person without Alzheimer&#8217;s is $7,750 per year, while the cost for a person with Alzheimer&#8217;s is $25,213 per year, and it is on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are other costs to consider as the disease progresses. They will need in-home care, transportation, medications, personal care, someone to take care of finances, and make medical decisions. All these things need to be discussed as a person ages. Do not wait until it is too late, do it before retirement age. Have that talk when the person is still legally able to make those decisions. After the diagnosis, it may be too late. According to all the doctors, scientists and researchers, there are many factors that may be a predictor of the disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"42785\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/science\/2025\/11\/04\/november-is-alzheimers-awareness-month\/attachment\/untitled-design-25-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25.png\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Untitled design (25)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25-1024x576.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sinclairclarion.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-design-25.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Couple Reading the Newspaper. <\/strong>PEXELS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that they all seem to agree upon is that there is no definitive conclusion, yet there are things that can be done today to prevent the onset of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and dementia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start early and take better care of the heart and muscles, especially the brain.
