Carleton Gajdusek, who was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work with prion diseases
(Manuelidis,1985), estimates that 1% of people showing up in Alzheimer clinics actually
have CJD (Folstein, 1983).

pity that this was before BSE blew up isn't it

It's an American study of the US population, posted in response to
your question "How do UK dementia figures compare with US, or EU."

You have some rough figures, work it out with them , alternatively,
you're free to find a more accurate number of all dementia cases in
the US or EU by doing a little research yourself (imagine that).
