Investigating Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in diverse populations
Core B: Clinical Core
This study is looking for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias to join in and help us learn more about these conditions by sharing their health information and brain images over time, so we can find better ways to understand and treat them.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enrolling and following diverse participants affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. It involves conducting annual evaluations that assess medical, neurological, psychiatric, and neuropsychological health. The study also collects brain images and biological samples to support ongoing research and improve understanding of these conditions. By collaborating with various cores and sharing data, the research aims to enhance the knowledge and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, particularly from diverse backgrounds, including the African American population.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have Alzheimer's disease or related dementias may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment options for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in similar approaches, particularly in enhancing understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's disease through diverse participant enrollment.
