The rate of people dying from Alzheimer's disease in the United States rose by 55% over a 15-year period, new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.
The number of those patients dying at home from the neurodegenerative condition also rose, from 14% to 25% over the same time period studied, 2009-2014.
This is important because Alzheimer's is a disease that needs to be cured. I hope that it can be contained and that no one has to suffer from a disease like this.

My grandfather had this disease and it truly is terrible.
ReplyDeleteThis is a horrible disease. I agree that this is an important area of concern that we need to shed more light on.
