Rates of increase of dementia are not uniform, and between 2001 and 2040 were projected to increase by 100% in developed countries and by more than 300% in India, China, and their south Asian and western Pacific neighbours. More than 50% of these dementia cases are due to AD.

Today, approximately five million Americans suffer from AD, a figure expected to rise to 14 million by 2050 if a cure is not found. One in eight persons in the US over the age of 65 and nearly half of those over 85 have AD. Direct and indirect costs of AD and other dementias in the US amount to more than 8 billion annually. It is estimated that 10 million Americans are caring for a person with AD or another dementia, one third of whom are over the age of 60. It is estimated the worldwide costs for dementia care are over 5 billion annually.
