• Covid-19 contributed to a 17% increase in Alzheimer's and dementia deaths in 2020
• Less than 1 in 5 Americans are familiar with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which can be an early stage of Alzheimer’s
• One-third of people with MCI (due to Alzheimer’s disease) develop dementia within five years of a diagnosis
• 90% of physicians agree that it is important to diagnose MCI because of Alzheimer’s, but over half say they are not fully comfortable diagnosing it.”
