Perceived discrimination and cognition in a middle age, racially diverse cohort

Risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include biologic (e.g. vascular), economic, and socio‐cultural factors. AD incidence and prevalence has been linked to race, and African American/Black individuals (AA/B) are at greater risk compared to non‐Hispanic Whites (NHW), due to physiological and social factors, however few clinical research studies are dedicated to prospective and thoughtful data collection on both physiology (biomarkers) and social/structural risk factors, including discrimination.
