Number of people who died from Alzheimer’s disease increased 54% in 2014.
A longer lifespan and the large Baby Boomer generation are the likely causes of the 54% increase in the number of people who died from Alzheimer’s disease in 2014 compared to 1999, according to Reuters in “U.S. Alzheimer’s deaths jump 54 percent, many increasing dying at home.”
In fact, 13.8 million Americans are expected to have Alzheimer’s by 2050.
Consequently, families need to be prepared to deal with the disease now more than ever.
Over the same time period, the number of people who passed away from Alzheimer’s at home nearly doubled to 24.9 percent.
