Younger-onset Alzheimer's

Younger-onset (or early-onset) Alzheimer’s disease affects people who are under age 65. 

Many people with younger-onset are in their 40s and 50s. They have families, careers, or are even caregivers themselves when Alzheimer’s disease strikes. 

Up to 5 percent of people with Alzheimer’s have younger-onset. In the United States, that’s about 200,000 people. It’s important to know you are not alone.[1]
