More than 5 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s and the future doesn’t look promising.

Alzheimer’s statistics projected for 2050 show the grim reality that will be faced by many.

11 million additional people will have the condition in the United States.

115.4 million will have it worldwide, compared to the current figure of about 35.6 million.

$1.1 trillion will be spent in the U.S. on caregiving costs, compared with $200 billion this year.

The new strategy supports a $7.9 million dollar study on an insulin nasal spray treatment. Separately, researchers will work on the first-ever Alzheimer’s prevention trial in people with a genetic predisposition to develop the condition. The strategy also offers solutions for collaborating across federal and state agencies and for informing the public through a one-stop website, www.alzheimers.gov.

“The plan gives us a blueprint to build on our research efforts,” U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday at the announcement of the government’s new plan. “These actions are the cornerstone of an ambitious and aggressive agenda.”
