Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and its prevalence is growing.  More than five million Americans are affected by Alzheimer’s, but that number is expected to triple by 2050.  Is there hope on the horizon?  This program highlights the growing focus of Alzheimer’s and dementia in public health; what causes memory loss; what the latest research shows in our fight against these conditions; what can be done to decrease one’s risk; what resources exist and what Iowa HHS is doing to help.
