Understanding the importance of research
Why is dementia research important?
Through research, we are able to study the causes of dementia and how it affects the person living with dementia and their care partners. Please consider participating in the studies below to help us better understand dementia.
- 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia
- More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s
- Over 11 Million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias
Considering participating in one of these research projects to help us learn more about how we can support people living with dementia.
