Pennsylvanians could benefit from early detection of Alzheimer's, report finds
An estimated 320,000 Pennsylvanians who are older than 65 will have Alzheimer’s disease by 2025, yet most people mistake early signs of the disease as typical signs of aging.
That’s according to a new report from the Alzheimer’s Association, which also states that most people want to know if they will develop the disease. Sara Murphy, Vice President of Programs and Services at the Alzheimer's Association Greater PA Chapter, explains in the WESA article at the link above.
