More than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, a common form of dementia. While a majority of people affected by this disease are 65 or older, Alzheimer's is not a normal ...part of aging. Up to 5% of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's experienced symptoms while still in their 40s and 50s. This information and much more may be found at www.alz.org.
