DAY 10

STATISTIC: Deaths from Alzheimer's have more than doubled since 2000, while deaths from heart disease have decreased.

"Heart disease deaths fell because we invested in solutions. Alzheimer's deaths rose because we didn't. Demand the same commitment."

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 9

STATISTIC: Alzheimer's disease was the sixth-leading cause of death among people aged 65+ in 2022.

"Sixth-leading cause of death.

That's not rare. That's not obscure. That's one of the biggest killers in America.

"Alzheimer's is a top-6 killer with rising death rates."

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 7

STATISTIC: Roughly 110 per 100,000 people aged 30-64 (about 200,000 Americans) have younger-onset Alzheimer's.

"Younger-onset Alzheimer's destroys families in their prime."

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 6

STATISTIC: Older Hispanic Americans are 1.5 times more likely than older whites to have Alzheimer's or other dementias.

The Alzheimer's crisis hits Hispanic Americans 50% harder. That's abandonment.

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 5

STATISTIC: Older Black Americans are about twice as likely as older whites to have Alzheimer's or other dementias.

"Health disparities are policy choices. Demand Congress fund equity research and prevention in underserved communities."

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 4

STATISTIC: Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women. Women are also two-thirds of CAREGIVERS.
So women get the disease more often. Women sacrifice their lives caring for others who have it.
This is a women's crisis.

Share if you're a woman

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 3

STATISTIC: 7.2 million Americans aged 65+ have Alzheimer's in 2025, and 74% of them are 75 or older.

The 75+ age group is where Alzheimer's strikes hardest. Your parent is almost there.

#75AndOlder #TheTimeToActIsNow #EarlyDetection #Day3of40

"Early detection matters."

[Scott Steele @ScottCatRescuer]

DAY 2

STATISTIC: About 1 in 9 Americans age 65 and older (11%) has Alzheimer's.

1 in 9.

That's not rare. That's not 'someone else's problem.

When the odds are 11%, it's not a question of IF your family will be touched. It's WHEN."

DAY 1
