Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s can progressively affect memory, reasoning and independence. The human burden extends to caregivers, families and communities.
Why it matters
Research into neurological health can help explain disease burden, human physiology and opportunities for future scientific work. The underlying mechanisms are complex and many questions remain unresolved.
In 2026, the Alzheimer’s Association estimated 7.4 million US adults age 65+ living with Alzheimer’s dementia and projected $409 billion in US health and long-term care payments for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, excluding unpaid care.
