“CDC: 14% of those 75+ have early symptom of Alzheimer’s,” by Lois A. Bowers, McKnight’s Senior Living

Fourteen percent of adults aged 75 or more years have subjective cognitive decline [SCD], one of the earliest noticeable symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. … Additionally, the CDC found that 10% of those aged 65 to 74, 11% of those aged 55 to 64, and 10% of those aged 45 to 54 had SCD.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

I’m dubious. Seems like a higher percentage of older people claim lesser memory than when they were younger but don’t usually decline to dementia.
