A member asked:

How much time can one live usually with alzheimer's?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It depends on the age at diagnosis. It is on the average about 8 years after diagnosis but some people may live 20 years and if somebody develops Alzheimer's disease in their 80ies they may live only 3 years.
