Life expectancy varies for each person with Alzheimerâs disease (AD). The average life expectancy after diagnosis is eight to 10 years. In some cases, however, it can be as short as three years or as long as 20 years. AD can go undiagnosed for several years, too.
The findings may help those who care for a loved one with Alzheimerâs disease to better plan for the future. The results highlight that dementia is a chronic condition, and that people with Alzheimerâs will likely need care for a number of years after their diagnosis. At the same time, the average survival time is under five years, with wide variations depending on age and physical condition at the time of diagnosis.
