[1] [3] It's estimated only 25–29% of people affected survive to adulthood, and only 10% to the age of 50. [1] The median life expectancy is around 9 years, and the average life expectancy is 16.3 years. [1]

Life expectancy of people with AD is reduced. [226] The normal life expectancy for 60 to 70 years old is 23 to 15 years; for 90 years old it is 4.5 years. [227] Following AD diagnosis it ranges from 7 to 10 years for those in their 60s and early 70s (a loss of 13 to 8 years), to only about 3 years or less (a loss of 1.5 years) for those in ...

Niemann–Pick type C affects an estimated 1:150,000 people. [3] Approximately 50% of cases present before ten years of age, but manifestations may first be recognized as late as the sixth decade. Despite its name, Niemann-Pick disease, type C has very little to do with SMPD1-associated Niemann–Pick disease , although they were once thought ...
