More Attention Given to Early-Onset Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t strike only older people, it can affect those younger than 65 years of age, some even in their 30s.  More attention is being given to those with early- onset Alzheimer’s, which could be as many as half a million, according to a recent report by the Alzheimer’s Association. 

A reference in the Alzheimer’s Daily News (http://alznews.org ), linking to an article in the Bradenton Hearld (www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/15107755.htm ), tells about a support group for early-onset victims in the Mid-West.  This group, Without Warning, was founded by Dr. David Bennett, who is the medical director of the Chicago Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center.
