According to the Alzheimer’s Association they estimate that there are between 220,000 and 640,000 people living in the United States with early-onset Alzheimer’s, meaning that they are 65 years of age or younger.
Cass Naugle, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Maryland Chapter said, “There is a misconception that Alzheimer’s affects only the elderly, but there are an estimated 250,000 people under age 65 dealing with the debilitating disease. We hope that through this conference, families can draw mutual support from one another and learn about the valuable resources available to them.”
