More and more older Americans want to know their Alzheimer's status, survey finds

  • As of 2025, over 7 million Americans who are 65 years and older are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, reaching the highest number recorded to date.
  • This rise relates to aging demographics and increasing recognition of Alzheimer's, with nearly 4 in 5 Americans wanting to know their status before symptoms emerge.
  • The survey found 91% would take a simple blood test if available, 80% would ask for testing, and many would accept some risk to slow disease progression with medication.
  • The projected annual cost for Alzheimer's care reached $384 billion in 2025, with unpaid care valued at $413 billion, while 81% of Americans expect new treatments soon.
  • These findings suggest a strong public demand for early diagnosis and treatment, implying a need for widely accessible testing and more healthcare resources.
