Jas...QUOTE..."Current estimates are that about 5.8 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including 5.6 million aged 65 and older and about 200,000 under age 65 with younger-onset Alzheimer's."

The study cited had only 47 patients diagnosed with dementia out of 15,820 patients in the study...This seems like an abnormally low number...The investigators were not specifically looking for dementia...The study was probably 'weighted' towards those under age 65...
It is difficult to draw conclusions from this study.
