TIME (6/20, Park) reports that a survey conducted by the Alzheimer’s Association revealed that 80% of those surveyed believe “the neurodegenerative condition is a normal part of aging” while 40% “believed that only those with a family history of the disease could be affected.” In response to the survey Harry Johns, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association said, “anyone with a brain is at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, so everyone with a brain should join the fight against it.”
