Or is it? It depends on what country you live in. For the United States, it's November. Here is President Biden's declaration that he just signed on Monday. But September is World Alzheimer's Month, and September 21 is World Alzheimer's Day. And then June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month.
Of course, there is a multi-part message to get out, and we want to bring attention to it. What are the message's parts?
- Alzheimer's is a deadly disease that strikes older people - the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
- We don't understand the disease, so research is needed.
- There is no cure for the disease, so more research is needed.
- Families affected by the disease need support.
- Fully forty percent of all cases are preventable through lifestyle changes.
- The course of the disease in many who are already affected can be significantly moderated through lifestyle changes.
Spread the word!
