If dementia were a company, it would have the world's largest annual revenue, estimated at $604 billion (2010).1 Already, 5.4 million people in the United States live with Alzheimer-type dementia, which afflicts nearly half of us if we live past 85 years.2As Zilberberg and Tjia3 estimate, with current utilization and diagnosis patterns, hospitalizations of persons with dementia 85 years and older will increase almost 10-fold by 2050.
