Alzheimer's as a Key Issue
A new poll shows that increased government funding for Alzheimer's research has emerged as a key issue for Americans, with about 5 million Americans with it. That number "is expected to grow as millions of boomers move into their 70s and 80s, when the risk for the disease increases."
More from AARP:
The survey of 801 adults, by Hart Research Associates, Washington, for the Alzheimer's Association, also found that 72 percent of women are more likely to vote for a candidate who backs increased research into the disease, compared with 63 percent of men. Seventy-seven percent of women and 66 percent of men are more likely to choose a candidate who seeks Medicare and Medicaid reforms that would provide better care for those with Alzheimer's.
