One Health Trust researcher Dr. Arindam Nandi co-authored a study that found that the formal cost of care per patient for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRDs) in 2016 in the United States was US$28,078 (95% confidence interval: $25,893-$30,433). Using national longitudinal data from the United States Health and Retirement Survey (2010-2016), the researchers estimated that Americans spent an estimated US$196 billion (95% uncertainty range: $179-$213 billion) on direct medical costs for ADRDs in 2020. This value was projected to increase to US$1.4 trillion (95% UR: $837 billion-$2.2 trillion) by 2060, assuming an unchanged growth rate of ADRD prevalence. [npj aging]
