    5) See below for how to format the headings. Headings levels are important in a professional paper because they provide organization and progression for the reader. APA format standardizes levels/positions, although heading levels may differ somewhat according to the type of paper and discussion. Use the APA-formatted heading levels below to differentiate your countries and include a short comparison discussion.
    I have included an example of heading levels for your first paper:
    Repeat the title of paper [centered] at top of page 2: Comparison of Health Care Systems: United States and Iceland
    Introduction [Level 1] (centered) Discussion begins…. (paragraph[s] form of at least two sentences
    Health Statistics and Costs [Level 2] (flush left)
    A short paragraph (at least two sentences) must introduce the level 3 sub-headings you are going to discuss in this section. For example: “The discussion below provides information about and compares the health statistics and costs of the United States and Iceland. Health statistics include life expectancies and mortality rates, major health conditions and diseases, health care expenditure dollars ($) per capita, and health care expenditure as a percentage (%) of gross domestic product (GDP).”
    United States. [Level 3] Level 3 heading is indented with period, only first word is capitalized (unless a proper noun), discussion begins immediately after heading….
    Iceland. [Level 3] Discussion begins….
    Comparison of countries. [Level 3] Discussion begins… Health Care Financing [Level 2] (flush left)

Literature Review For Alzhiemers Research Paper

Literature Review For Alzhiemers Research Paper

Each subsection of your literature review should be 3–5 pages, totaling a completed literature review of 9–15 pages. By the end of this week, you will also have a reference list with at least 25 scholarly resources which are present throughout your literature review section. I am looking for at least 10 pages.
My Abstract :
Abstract
An estimated 5.4 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease in 2016. By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s will go from 5.2 million to a projected 13.8 million, given the baby boomer population reaching age 65 has begun recently; the numbers are escalating quickly (Help End Alzhiemers).  Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. The cost of this disease is nearly bankrupting Medicare with expectations to cover $160 billion in healthcare for Alzheimer’s patients. Better care, therapy, and prevention research will require huge investments which will be a concern for many policy makers and how the government will apply funding. Until there is a cure, there will be major impacts within healthcare to help maintain and treat this condition that is affecting the majority of our elderly population.
