African-Americans are at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s
|
February is Black History Month. African-Americans are two times more likely to develop late-onset Alzheimer's disease than whites and less likely to receive an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which results in less time for treatment and planning. Visit our African-Americans and Alzheimer’s portal for information on warning signs, research and care, as well as stories of African-Americans who’ve furthered efforts in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
