The rate of deaths related to Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默）disease jumped by 54.5 percent over 15 years, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The disease currently affects an estimated 5.5 million people in the U.S. but that number is expected to rise dramatically in people over the age of 65 to 13.8 million in 2050. The researchers examined death certificate data from the National Vital Statistics System to reach their findings.

“It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 that does not have a way to prevent it or stop it” Fargo told ABC News.
