How does this disease affect longevity??

. Average length of time from diagnosis to death is eight years or so. I think mom died six years after diagnosis, but she had probably had it undiagnosed for a couple of years. It seems to progress more quickly in the early onset cases where people are younger when diagnosed.

 

If you mean from what do they die, the body basically he forgets how to operate. They forget how to breathe and swallow and generally die from complications such as pneumonia when they are no longer able to get out of bed etc.
