for alzheimers and the way it effects american families. very interesting but my first reaction, when i read the numbers was well, a woman is far more likely to live to the age where you move into real hard core alzheimerss danger zone territory. is there something more mention. >> it is true that the primary risk factor is age, but there are some promising area areas that w we may need to learn more about gender differences. are we coming closer you have this piece of evidence over there, are we getting to a point where they are starting to tie up at tends and create a pattern that we can move forward with? alzheimerss is a really complicated disease, and it is going to require more federal funding, to get to these answers. that's why getting two appropriate levels of federal funding. alzheimerss disease received five hung million dollars a year, and other major diseases like cancer, and heart disease, are up in the billions. and what we know is that when the appropriate investment is made, amazing things happen. death rates from the other

now, a new study finds alzheimer's may already account for many more deaths than realized. hari sreenivasan, reporting from our new york studio, gets the details. >> sreenivasan: the c.d.c ranks alzheimer's as the sixth-leading killer in the u.s., accounting for nearly 85,000 deaths a year. but the study in the journal neurology puts the annual death toll around half a million, making it the third-leading cause of death, just behind heart disease and cancer and ahead of chronic lung disease and strokes. doctor bryan james, an epidemiologist with rush university medical center in chicago, led the research. you say half a million. that's a big gap. >> it is a big gap. it's about six times the numbers and the reason for this, it's very well documented that alzheimer's disease is underreported on death certificates. when people are filling out death certificates, they usual focus on the more immediate causes of death, and they have the opportunity to write the underlying causes, but alzheimer's disease is usually left off. >> sreenivasan: so when you look at the research here,

of alzheimer's disease today not only by being most likely to be diagnosed with alzheimer's but being the caregiver most of the time. >> reporter: today's reports for the alzheimer's association lays out sobering numbers, one in six over the age of 65 is at risk of developing the disease, compared to one in 11 men, researchers say it could be related to biology and genetic differences between the sexes, women in their 60s are more likely to get alzheimer's as they are to get breast cancer. and about 60% to 70% of those caring for someone with the disease are women. ann and ralph married young, vicky and jim were high school sweet hearts, the men died in 2011, the last years were tough. like so many women caregivers, vicky had to quit her job. she was a microbiologist. >> i went down to part-time and eventually quit to take care of him because he didn't want to accept outside help at the time to come in the house. >> the worst day -- was the day i packed his clothes and he went to the nursing home. >> reporter: they survived by sharing. hundreds of candid e-mails which has now turned i

disease as cause of death. >> why alzheimer's? why does it forget and forgotten in determining. >> it's a long-term process, and the physician involved in the care at the end before death is often very much focused on the active medical issue at that point, which is probably pneumonia, and forget to mention the fact that, in fact, the patient also had alzheimer's disease. >> do you think there needs to be more funding, and if that's the case do you believe that alzheimer's disease does not get the funding that it should simply because it is viewed enough as a real cause of death? >> well, i do think that this emphasizes how important alzheimer's is as a public health issue. if we take the numbers that the study provided we're talking about the third leading cause of death in this country. you know, it's a hard question. we can always use more funding to help us understand alzheimer's. we're really pushing to understand better treatments, particularly ones that are treated before the disease starts. >> let me just request you, is t
