However, ALS is not just Lou Gehrig's disease and it knows no boundaries. A little over 5,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year, or 14 new cases a day. It is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. Most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 70, with an average age of 55 at the time of diagnosis. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries, and affects males and females equally.
