Among the 5.4 million patients today nationwide, there's a growing number of Early Onset Alzheimer's.
We're told about 3,800 people have the progressive, debilitating dementia right now, many diagnosed in their 50s.
Dr. Kenneth Morgan Sauer speaks on this and he currently works at the Longevity Center at St Vincent in Little Rock. "We are understanding Alzheimer's better so we are actually able to identify those patients who are Early Onset instead of claiming a psychiatric disorder," Sauer said.
As research continues, Sauer still warns of high risk factors ranging from high cholesterol to diabetes.
"Currently in modern research we're not even seeing anything close to a cure. What we're trying to do find treatments to slow the process down," Sauer said.
