Effects of Medicare predictors in health disparities in the risk of Alzheimer's disease

Our new approach addresses disparities leveraging the concept of population attributable fraction for Cox models.Exposure and vulnerability mechanisms of health disparity generation are evaluated.Vulnerability to hypertension is a consistent dominant factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk disparities.Predictors explain AD disparities better in Black and Hispanic populations.Disparities in AD are driven by exposure to socioeconomic status suggesting targeted interventions.
