Oklahoma will have so many Alzheimer’s patients by 2025 that there’s a boom in construction of housing for them.
By 2010, about 74,000 Oklahomans will have Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to increase by 30 percent in the next 15 years.
“We are standing on the tracks and a train is coming,” said Mark Fried, executive vice president of the Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter. “The statistical trends reveal that Alzheimer’s disease is the public health threat of the 21st century.”
