Abstract in brief

The study estimates that Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) affected about 50 million adults aged 65 and older in 2014, which is about 16% of that age group in the U.S., and this number is expected to double to 139 million by 2060.
There are notable disparities in ADRD prevalence among different racial and ethnic groups, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in public health planning.
These projections can help guide future policies, healthcare planning, and support systems for individuals with ADRD and their caregivers as the disease burden increases.
