Not Good Alzheimer's News

More than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's disease and an aging population is likely to fuel a steady rise in new cases, the Alzheimer's Association said on Tuesday. The association's figure of 5 million is up about 10 percent from its previous estimate in 2000, and it said there are about 400,000 new cases a year.
