Recent
studies show that the incidence of neurodegenerative
diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s
disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease, has increased in far
greater numbers than previously suspected.
While Alzheimer’s disease is the No. 1 neurodegenerative
disease, Parkinson’s is a close second.
Most of these diseases are age related, meaning that
their incidence is much higher as we age, especially
after age 50. For example, the incidence of Alzheimer’s
disease goes from 15 percent at age 70 to almost 50
percent in people over age 80. The same is true for
Parkinson’s disease.
Today there are about 1 million people suffering from
this horrible disease, and 50,000 new cases are
diagnosed each year.

Neurodegenerative Diseases as possible target for
intervention in the disease process.
