How old was Pat Head Summit, UT women's basketball coach, when she was diagnosed?

I'm concerned for myself since, Alzheimer's/ dementia runs in the family.

Same. I had some initial bloodwork done at a cardiac prevention center in Lafayette. Low and behold they checked genetics and one of the markers was an Alzheimer's gene. I DO NOT HAVE IT. My mom does, my grandmother and all of her siblings did .. and who knows before that.

Early 60s.

With early onset the patient dies quickly. Older patients last longer for some reason.

She was diagnosed before her 60th birthday (she was 59 when she announced the diagnosis), and was dead within 5 years.
