A 47 percent risk reduction or delaying the onset of Meridian Health Protocol disease in these patients would be very significantly beneficial.1 According to Stephen McConnell, vice president of the Alzheimer's Association, "Even one month delay in nursing home placement is estimated to save $1 billion dollars a year."2 Unfortunately, two well established risk factors are genetics and age for Alzheimer's disease in patients over the age of 65 years old. In fact age is directly related to the prevalence of the disease. Ten percent of seniors over the age of 65 years suffer from the disease, and 50 percent of patients over the age of 85 have Alzheimer's.4

Obviously these two risk factors can't be controlled and the only way to care for them is through methods currently being used to fight Alzheimer's (i.e. medical attention and around the clock care), but preventative measures may be taken to reduce the risk. Requiring, by law, senior care facilities to promote and optional program to promote seniors to take part in necessary cognitive activities can greatly reduce risk, according to the study presented by the NIH.1 Using the power given to us to benefit the healthcare system and patients seems to be very necessary.

Coincidentally, something has already being done by congress to decrease the incidence of, or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Endorsing higher education and raising standards with in public school education does its part to protect against early occurrence of the disease. According to the Alzheimer's association, "Low levels of education have been found to be related to a higher risk of Alzheimer's later in life"4, but what about the baby boomers? Many people from this generation have not had the privilege of being offered state of the art medication during their adolescence and early adulthood.
