Alzheimer's appears to have been medically acquired through the transmission of the amyloid-beta protein.

The discovery of Alzheimer's transmission through cadaver-derived human growth hormone (c-hGH) is the first evidence of disease transmission in living individuals.

Researchers say the discovery underscores the intricate nature of this debilitating disease, paving the way for a deeper understanding of its causes.

In 2020 , an estimated 5.8 million Americans aged 65 years or older had Alzheimer’s disease.

This number is projected to nearly triple to 14 million people by 2060 .

Alzheimer's disease is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States .
