1 ALS is not contagious.  Although the life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable, and many people can live with the disease for five years and more. More than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Fact Sheet. CIRM funds many projects seeking to better understand ALS and to translate those discoveries into new therapies. About 6,400 people are diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrigâs disease) each year in the U.S., and the average survival time is three years. The disease results when the cells in the brain or spinal cord that instruct muscles to moveâcalled motor neuronsâdie off.
