[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - In the three top places — Miami, Baltimore and the Bronx — an estimated one in six over-65s have Alzheimer's
- Imperial County in California has the highest number of patients, with a rate of 15 percent in those over 65
The new report by the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) offers the most granular look at the prevalence of the condition, providing estimates of the rates at the county level for the first time.
It shows that overall, 6.7 million Americans over 65 have the disease — roughly one in ten.
Rounding out the top five counties for Alzheimer's disease sufferers were Prince George's County in Maryland (16.1 percent) and Hinds County, Mississippi (15.5 percent).
It comes as results from trials of the drug donanemab showed it can slow early Alzheimer's by up to 60 percent in a breakthrough hailed as the 'turning point' in the fight against the disease.
