What is young-onset dementia?
Young-onset dementia, also known as early-onset, is dementia that first occurs in someone younger than age 65, even as young as the 40s and 50s. The Alzheimer’s Association calculates that there are 220,000 to 640,000 people with young-onset Alzheimer’s or a related dementia in the U.S. today.
