In total, these indirect costs amount to approximately $832 billion per year in the United States, including $599 billion in unpaid caregiving costs and $233 billion in productivity losses.<\/p>\n<p>This study underscores the importance of incorporating indirect costs\u2014such as caregiver burden and patient productivity loss\u2014into economic evaluations of AD treatments.
