The number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is expected to double by 2060. Food insecurity is also on the rise, increasing the risk of dementia in older adults.
There are approximately 6 million Americans aged 65 years or over who have Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease–related dementias (AD/ADRD); this number is expected to shoot up to 14 million, more than double the current total by 2060. Food insecurity is also on the rise in American households, being reported in more than 7% of those harboring older people in 2021, up from 5% two decades ago.
Moreover, estimates project that almost a tenth of people in their sixth decade will experience food insecurity. This is associated with higher risks of malnutrition, poor health, metabolic and cardiovascular disease, stress, depression, and dementia. Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are being run to alleviate food insecurity
