Utter nonsense.

See the UK statistics.

The fact that the population is getting older would have nothing to do with
it, now, could it.

Thought not.

Massive Increase In Alzheimer's

In a report published in the most recent issue of The Lancet, a group
of 12 experts from the Alzheimer's Disease International have
predicted, that by 2040, the global incidence of Alzheimer's disease
and other forms of dementia will rise dramatically to 81.1 million.

The report states: "We estimate that 24.3 million people have dementia
today, with 4.6 million new cases of dementia every year. The number of
people [with dementia] will double every 20 years, to 81.1 million by
2040."

While the number of cases in developed countries such as the United
States will double by 2040, the number is expected to more than triple
in India, China and other countries in south Asia and the western
Pacific.

According to the report's authors: "We believe that the detailed
estimates in this paper constitute the best currently available basis
for policymaking, planning and the allocation of health and welfare
resources."

The prediction, while dire, does not vary materially from the forecast
made two years ago for the United States by the Alzheimer's
Association. That group predicted an increase from 4.5 million cases
now to 6.5 million in 2025. Such an increase would overwhelm the
economy and health-care system unless addressed in the next five to 10
years by research.

Most experts agree that people can ward off or delay the onset of many
of the problems by changing their lifestyle to include physical,
mental, and social activity as well as better eating habits.
