0 I have a big cardiac exam coming up and even though most of the anatomy is review, I'm still having a hard time remembering blood flow through the heart and various structures.
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.
During that time, 438 of the study participants developed Alzheimerâs disease or another form of dementia, and more than 80 percent of those with dementia died. Overall, men with dementia did not live as long as women with the disease: 4.1 years for men, versus 4.6 years for women. And men or women in frail physical shape did not tend to live as long as their more physically robust peers. Itâs important to note that these numbers mainly reflect people in their 80s and 90s.
