- This year, the first wave of baby boomers are turning 65 – and with increased age comes increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
- Our new report, “Generation Alzheimer’s: The Defining Disease of the Baby Boomers,” sheds light on a crisis that is no longer emerging – but here.
- Many baby boomers will spend their retirement years either with Alzheimer’s or caring for someone who has it.
- An estimated 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s.
- Starting this year, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65. As these baby boomers age, one of out of eight of them will develop Alzheimer’s – a devastating, costly, heartbreaking disease. Increasingly for these baby boomers, it will no longer be their grandparents and parents who have Alzheimer’s – it will be them.
