Overview

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has taken special efforts to support research endeavors that explore health disparities related to aging. The NIA Health Disparities Research Framework is used to assess progress and opportunities toward stimulating multi-level aging research, at environmental, sociocultural, behavioral and biological levels of analysis. The goal of this educational workshop is to examine disparities in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with special emphasis on study design and methodological considerations when linking multi-level factors to AD disparities. The presentations will focus on Alzheimer biomarkers evaluation and the use of various life course perspectives.
