While advances in medicine have led to declines in mortality rates for diseases like cancer and heart disease, Alzheimer's disease presents a starkly different situation. About seven million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, making it a leading cause of death among older adults, with its prevalence expected to double by 2050. Existing treatment options have failed to halt cognitive decline, a setback attributed to the complexity of the human brain and growing allegations of fraudulent research practices. These issues illustrate the multifaceted challenges that hinder progress in finding effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
Despite substantial advancements in treating cancer and heart disease, Alzheimer's continues to rise, evoking concern as more cases emerge without effective treatments yet found.
