but the greatest risk of dementia and alzheimer's is age. so for most alzheimer's disease, which is really the spontaneous type, it's just a function of age. and what we now know is this disease actually starts about 20 years before we actually develop symptoms. before you get memory loss, behavioral problems, cognitive decline. the disease undergoes about a 20-year silent period where it's not detected. during that 20 years, we're actually losing brain cells, we're using brain connectivity. and that's the real opportune time to try to stop the disease and treat it. >> before i talk about this ground and breaking work you've done with this eye test to help us figure this out, 20 years in advance, thank you in advance for what you've already done. tell me more about what you mean when you say environmental factors that lead to alzheimer's, like? >> we know there's a genetic component to it, there's also a lifestyle component. alzheimer's behaves very much like diabetes or other types of diseases where you have a genetic component but if you m

the good thing about alzheim alzheimer's, it's a bipartisan su people of both parties have parents andaffected by alzheimer's, which is one form of dementia. they know what it's like to be caregivers up front. we can all agree that funding science and finding cures for whether it's alzheimer's, m.s., all of these brain-related diseases is in our national interest, because this is an incredibly expensive disease, on track to bankrupt our country. 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day. so it behooves us as a nation to come around this issue to do a brain shot, much like my uncle did with the moon shot, to fund the research and find a cocktail or something that would benefit people as they grow old. people want to grow old. we know how to grow old physically, but we don't know how to grow old and be cognitively healthy. >> as you talk about healthy brains and the need for sleep and good nutrition, the fact is, there's a lot you can do in the way you live. >> exactly. >> and the genetic determination, predetermination is not everything. >> that's a really impornt thing. people wonder shoul

to ask for more funding and research on alzheimer's. please, i am going to forget, so i need you to remember. i walked into that room with some paperwork thinking ahead to my next meeting. it was like a spear thrust between my ribs reminding me that everything we do in washington matters to real people. it's for those that need it right now. alzheimer's disease offers the perfect example of how foolish it is to short change investments in research. in 21601, americans spent $236 billion caring for people with alzheimer's. that is $236 billion in one ye year. we will keep spending these astronomical year after year. we still have time to do something about it. so, how much do they allocate to alzheimer's research? in 2016 the amount spent on research was less than one half of 1% of the money spent. it doesn't have enough funding even if the population increases, congress continues to cut research dollars. they now have 20% less funding than just ten years ago. alzheimer's isn't the only pressing medical concern. think about the other dis

what knowledge do we have on alzheimer's and autism and issues related to the brain?think the brain is a new frontier and they have been able to help us enormously understand what's going on. the two things that worry me about society as you point out alzheimer's and all -- autism are the two ends of life which arcs dreamily expensive and emotionally very taxing and really don't have major breakthroughs in understanding the etiology or the care of either one of those. so these, now alzheimer's moved up to the seventh leading cause of death in the united states and the economics of this are really frightening. we are in the process of researching like many other people are and we are learning more and more about it but still no major breakthroughs that are going to reverse the problem. i think the best thing we can do is the same thing you do for your heart, exercise, keep weight under control, no smoking and reduce inflammation which is certainly part of the problem. maria: a good point. the question of course is how to get the cost of health care down aside from gett
