A member asked:

Early onset alzhimers how young can you get it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YOUNGER THAN U THINK: About 5 percent of Alzheimer's patients develop symptoms before age 65. Early-onset alzheimer's has been known to develop between ages 30 and 40, but that's very uncommon. It's more common to see someone in his or her 50s who has the disease.
