Researchers are working to better understand how Alzheimer’s risk and progression differ in different populations. Alzheimer’s Association-funded researcher Kacie Deters published findings that suggest Black individuals have lower levels of an Alzheimer’s marker in the brain compared to other groups with similar cognitive abilities. In addition, the Alzheimer’s Association continued its New IDEAS study – which is evaluating brain amyloid PET scans in individuals of underrepresented populations with memory loss.
