Are Hispanics at a Greater Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease?

Filed Under Kansas and Missouri Alzheimer's Care 

Interesting read from the New York Times on a possible link between Alzheimer’s Disease and Hispanic individuals:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/21/us/21alzheimers.html

They note that, while Hispanics are not necessarily genetically predisposed to this illness, that they do have an increased number of risk factors including high rates of diabetes, obesity, and stroke. Moreover, financial and language barriers can discourage a family from seeking treatment for a loved one, complicating an already difficult situation.
