The prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease is on the rise — and with it, the economic burden of the disease (estimated to be between $157 billion and $215 billion in 2010).

Learn more about the growing burden of AD in the United States with this infographic for National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.
