Abstract
CHANGING AGE structure of the US population markedly affects the occurrence of Alzheimer disease (AD). Because the disease has a great effect on the quality of life for affected individuals and caregivers and because it places heavy demands on the health care system, estimates of its occurrence and projections of future occurrence are essential for public health planning.Keywords
