Alzheimer's disease is a neurocognitive disorder that is the most common cause of dementia; it accounts for 60 to 80% of cases of dementia in the elderly. In the United States, it is estimated that 10% of people are over 65 and suffer from Alzheimer's. The percentage of people with Alzheimer's disease increases with age.
The disease is twice as common in women as in men, which is partly due to the longer life expectancy of women. The prevalence of the number of patients in developed countries is associated with an increase in the proportion of elderly people in them.
