According to the Puerto Rico Department of Health’s 2014 statistics, Alzheimer’s disease was the fourth leading cause of death in Puerto Rico. This brain disease causes problems with a person’s memory, thought process, and character or behavior. Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal aging process; however, it is the most common type of dementia. It is estimated that more than 5 million people in the United States have the disease. The number may reach 16 million in the United States by 2050.
