* An estimated 14 million Americans will have AD by 2050 if a cure or prevention is not found.
* The average lifetime cost per AD patient is $174,000.
* AD costs the United States approximately $100 billion per year. Neither Medicare nor most private health insurance policies cover the long-term care costs for patients.
* AD costs American businesses more than $33 billion per year -- the majority of which is the loss of business productivity due to employee care-giving.
