How deadly is alzheimer?

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills.

It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all cases.

The disease is ultimately fatal, with the average life expectancy after diagnosis being 4-8 years, although some people can live up to 20 years with the disease.

The mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease varies depending on the study and the population being examined.

According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and it is the fifth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older.

In 2019, Alzheimer's disease was reported as the underlying cause of death for 121,9444 people in the United States.

It is important to note that the mortality rate for Alzheimer's disease is not solely due to the disease itself, but also due to complications and other health issues that arise as a result of the disease.

As the disease progresses, individuals may experience difficulty with activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, and dressing, which can lead to malnutrition, infections, and other health problems.

Additionally, individuals with Alzheimer's disease may be at an increased risk of falls, pneumonia, and other infections.

While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, there are treatments available that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Research is ongoing to develop new treatments and ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease.
