Description
The full cost of Alzheimer's disease in the United States goes well past medical bills. A 2025 study by Amir Abbas Tahami Monfared and co-authors adds it up by disease stage. Their count joins direct health costs with unpaid care, lost work, and the harder-to-price loss of quality of life.
The team drew on a long national survey of older adults running from 1994 to 2018. They used a phone test of thinking to place people from mild impairment through disease stages. A side survey of one hundred patient-caregiver pairs measured quality of life, which was turned into money terms with a set value per healthy year. The study gives planners a stage-by-stage view of what the disease costs families and the country.
