Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the world's population.
In this country, by the year 2030, there will be about 70 million older persons, more than twice their number in 1996. It is estimated that there are now 1.8 million people with severe dementia in the United States, and another 1 to 5 million with mild to moderate dementia. The hallmark of dementia is memory loss. We focus on research to assist both patients and their caregivers in managing the disabling effects of the disease. Some of the areas investigated in current studies are assisting caregivers in managing agitation in AD patients, addressing sleep problems in both patients and caregivers, treating depression in AD patients, and improving the quality of life for patients.
