As of 2022, it was estimated that around four percent of seniors in the United States aged 65 years and older had been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The prevalence of dementia was highest among those with a family income of less than 100 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL), and lowest among those with a family income of 400 percent or more of the FPL.
