The HHS’ “National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease” said black, Hispanic and low-income populations are more likely to face health-related risk factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s and said this disparity is due to “structural inequities” that are the result of racism. Those inequities include “underinvestment in education systems, less walkable communities,, barriers to health care access and low quality of care in their communities.
“This requires that addressing SDOH [social determinants of health], entrenched systemic racism, and other forms of discrimination be prioritized, rather than focusing solely on individual behaviors,” the report said. – the group says 73% of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia are 75 years and older but also notes that two-thirds are women.Black people are twice as likely as white people to develop Alzheimer’s, and Hispanics are about 1.5 times more likely than whites to get it.
“In fact, some studies suggest that after adjusting for health and socioeconomic risk factors, no differences in Alzheimer’s prevalence exist,” the group says.
