shimkus: alzheimer's, to your point, alzheimer's -- mr. roskam: alzheimer's, to your point, alzheimer's is a devastating illness and it is absolutely ravaging our nation. five million americans are suffering from it and the cost of alzheimer's is in the billions and billions and billions of dollars. in fact, there's some estimates that suggest it will be in the trillions of dollars between 2010 and 2050. there is some good news and there's some hopeful news that we're on the verge of some new treatments but we need effective coordination to ensure that the money is spent on research that is being utilized effectively. and the devastating cost of this disease is proof in the numbers. nearly one in five medicare dollars is spent on a person with alzheimer's and other dementias. and this year the total cost of alzheimer's will be $214 billion, including $150 billion on medicare and medicaid expenditures. and this will skyrocket in the years ahead. this is not just a dollars and cents issue. yes, it's very important and, yes, we discuss dollar

with alzheimer's disease by the year 2050. that is three times the number of active cases today. and the news tonight is out of a big alzheimer's conference underway in denmark including a lot of talk about how an eye test can help detect signs of alzheimer's years before symptoms appear. we get our report tonight from our chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman. >> reporter: imagine a time when a simple trip to the eye doctor could also be your screening exam for alzheimer's disease. looking at back of the eye gives doctors an idea of the brain. it's not a far off idea. researchers in australia and several universities in the united states are looking at a new way to measure plaque buildup in the brain by looking at the retina of the eye. it's non-invasive, not particularly complicated and likely a game changer. >> it may not be the sole indicator of alzheimer's, but it can be an early indicator. an indicator that tells the eye doctor for example that a person should go on and get a more distinct workup. >> reporter: early d

heather snyder from the alzheimer's association. that association is hosting the conference in copenhagen along with a neurologist who often treats alzheimer patients. i would like to talk to you. you've been at this conference for a lot of research unveiled. are we any closer to a cure? >> every year we continue to see the incremental progress associated with our understanding around always hiem he were's disease, including our understanding around what might be the earliest changes associated with alzheimer's disease for better early detection and diagnosis. also we're seeing the continued development of the diversity of the pipeline for new therapy targets being developed and we're also continuing to understand the puzzle about what might be the pieces that are associated with an increased or a decreased risk associated with alzheimer's disease. >> we have a little bit of a delay. i just want to.out to the viewers. one of the interesting headlines that came out over the weekend is how the sense of smell or our eyes might telegrap

do i want to know in my 70s i'm likely to get alzheimer's? over 35. >> thank you, i appreciate that. >> a day over 30. i want to ask about another medical subject while i have you here. former president george w. bush had knee surgery. what do you know about it? it didn't sound risky. was it? >> no, not a high-risk procedure at all. it was a partial knee replacement and that means that parts of his knee, perhaps some of the cartilage, some of the bone, was deteriorating. doctors go in, get rid of stuff not working so well anymore and put in prosthetics to replace it. and believe it or not, people go home that day, and you can actually put full weight on your knee. he had this done on his other knee a couple months ago. and he was, you know, climbing the stairs that same day. so believe it or not, cutting into the knee, scraping away parts, putting in new parts, is really not such a big deal compared to some other surgeries. >> it's a routine procedure. but you know how he likes to bike. it's going to be a while, probably, right, a little bit.

but, yes, it's well known that people with alzheimer's lose their sense of smell. i think the eye test is a little more exciting. >> now, i read some of the research that you had put out earlier as well, that lifestyle is a really big factor here. let's talk about physical exercise, nutrition, managing cardiovascular issues and heart risking factors and just using your brain. do you want to take them down the line there, what about exercise and what muscle -- just using your muscles might have an impact in reducing the onset of the disease? or masking the disease entirely? >> yes, andrea. the two big risk factors for developing dementia or alzheimer's disease are increasing age and having a family member with the disease. there's nothing that you can do about either of those. but luckily there are several environmental things that can significantly reduce your risk of developing these diseases. one is education. many, many studies have shown people who graduate from college have a much lower rate of dementia than people who don't. i think the thought is, when you'r

within a year. >> when do you first notice the onset of alzheimer's? years before the disease reveals itself. >> we do know that changes start to happen in the brain with alzheimer's disease. maybe 10 to 15 years before the symptoms start to show. the symptoms themselves can be difficult to spot. it's often maybe loved ones, family friends that start to notice something is slightly not right. it's a very difficult process. we know the disease is happening very early. it can often be difficult to detect changes in people which means when a diagnosis is made at the moment, there's quite a lot of damage that's already happened in the brain. >> what you're saying with the blood test, you could literally go back before anyone notices someone might have the disease, take the blood test, detect the proteins and help from there. >> it would predict who's more likely to turn to alzheimer's. it allows treatments to be tested slightly earlier when they may have a better chance of success. we're not able to detect it with this test years and years before symptoms
