Alzheimer's disease impacts minority communities at higher rates, underscoring significant health disparities influenced by socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and education. African Americans face nearly double the risk, while Hispanics are 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's than non-Hispanic whites. These gaps are intensified by lower disease awareness, delayed diagnoses, and reduced clinical trial participation within these populations. Contributing factors include poverty, limited access to healthy food, and educational disparities. To combat these issues, efforts must focus on culturally sensitive education, better healthcare accessibility, and diverse research participation to ensure effective, inclusive treatment strategies.
