The Alzheimer's Association has a Web page of statistics for Texas. It's frightening how many cases are diagnosed each year. Here is a statement from the site:
In the United States, 5.3 million people are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and a new individual is diagnosed with the disease every 70 seconds. Unless something is done, by 2050, up to 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s, and a new case will be diagnosed every 33 seconds.
