Regional variation in diagnostic intensity of dementia among older U.S. adults: An observational study
Rate of new Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) case identification varies geographically across the United States. Variation in case identification is greatest in Black, Hispanic, and young-old groups. Intensity of diagnosis (ie, case identification) unrelated to population risk differs across place. Likelihood of receiving an ADRD diagnosis varies 2-fold based on place of residence.
