It is estimated that Alzheimer's disease will affect 16 million Americans here 2050
The exact words of the researchers: "[those who are] at least two times a week a stimulating leisure activity are intellectually two times less likely to develop dementia or disease d Alzheimer's, compared with the participants engaged in these activities less d once per week."
