Association between allostatic load and incident dementia, and race/ethnic disparities in the association in the U.S. health and retirement study
Key Points
Dementia incidence is influenced by allostatic load and varies across racial/ethnic groups.
The research highlights a striking difference in dementia rates associated with allostatic load among minorities.
Analysis conducted using data from the Health and Retirement Study shows critical disparities.
These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to address racial/ethnic disparities in dementia.
