According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's disease, nearly three quarters of whom are age 75 or older.  This means that about 1 in 9 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer's.  Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women. In this month's podcast, the first of the new year, moderator Dr. Lillie Shockney is joined by Dr. Halima Amjad, an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, whose clinical expertise focuses on individuals living with dementia.
