The world is aging at an astonishing rate! There are currently
over seven billion people in the world, with over 600 mil-

ishingly, this number is projected to increase by more
than 60% in just 15 years! This shift in the world’s

extremely common in older people, so much so that
dementia is the main form of disability in older adults.
The sad truth is that 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s
or other forms of dementia, and these numbers appear to be
rising, such that Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of
death in the United States. In fact, in the past two decades deaths
from heart disease have decreased by 9%, whereas deaths from

Alzheimer’s disease have INCREASED by 145%! And while mil-
lions of dollars have been poured into trying to find a cure, there is
no pharmaceutical remedy at this time. Needless to say the per-
sonal and economic impact of cognitive decline and dementia is
staggering. In the United States alone Alzheimer’s and other dementias
cost the nation $290 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise as high as $1.1
trillion, potentially increasing Medicare costs by 365% to $589 billion. Un-
less something is done, Alzheimer’s and dementia pose an enormous
threat to individuals, communities, and entire healthcare systems!
