Facts You Should Know. 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.
It is generally estimated there are over 30,000 people living with ALS in the United States at any given time; the number worldwide is estimated at around 450,000.
