*** U.S. Alzheimer's cases to triple, study shows WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Alzheimer's cases in the U.S. will more than triple over the next 50 years, although drugs that could delay the onset of the brain-destroying disease would help significantly, researchers said Tuesday. Ron Brookmeyer and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health examined several studies linking Alzheimer's to age and found about 2.3 million Americans currently suffer from the disease. Other estimates ranged to above 4 million. About 4% of 75-year-olds, 8.5% of 80-year-olds and 28.5% of 90-year-olds suffer from Alzheimer's, which is incurable and always fatal, Brookmeyer's team found.
