Today, approximately 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, including 100,000 Hoosiers.  Every 71 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer’s disease, making Alzheimer’s disease the 6th leading cause of death.  The direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia amount to more than $148 billion annually.

The Alzheimer’s Association is the world leader in Alzheimer’s research and support. Having awarded more than $150 million to nearly 1,300 research projects, the Alzheimer's Association is the largest private funder of Alzheimer research. The Association’s vision is a world without Alzheimer’s disease. For more information about Alzheimer's disease, call 800.272.3900 or visit www.alz.org/indiana.
