Progression
As there are so many causes of dementia that lead to various amounts of damage to the cognitive system, it can be hard to predict the survival time for people with dementia. However, there are some factors that can determine the progression of this disorder, such as overall health condition, treatment options, and the extent of brain damage. The average survival time for people with Alzheimer’s disease is around 84 to 85 years old. After the beginning of the signs, the average survival rate is around 8 years. [9.1] [9.2]
