Abstract
The purpose of this study is to estimate the direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer's Disease in Kansas. Two types of costs are identified. The first is an actual cash outlay. This is an expenditure which would be reflected in the state's gross product. The expenditure is borne by various parties including individuals, federal, state, and local government agencies, and private insurers. Secondly, indirect costs are calculated. These costs are almost entirely borne by individuals in the State and reflect the massive burden which falls upon private individuals. Because some direct and indirect costs could be the result of normal aging, in the final part of the report, Alzheimer's victims costs are compared to average elderly costs. Finally, the cost due solely to Alzheimer's Disease is calculated.
