Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD; hereafter dementia) are a set of conditions affecting primarily adults in later life that are characterized by impairments in memory and other cognitive processes severe enough to interfere with day to day functioning. These conditions have a large and growing impact on older adults, their families, and societies globally. In 2015, more than 46 million people around the world had dementia (Prince et al., 2015). The economic impact of dementia, including unpaid care provided by families, is estimated to be $818 billion worldwide (Prince et al., 2015). Because the world population is aging and the incidence of dementia increases sharply over the age of 75, some researchers have projected a tripling of the number of people living with dementia by 2050 unless delays in onset or treatment breakthroughs occur in the future (Prince et al., 2015).
