Social and economic vulnerability in metropolitan areas with limited access to infusion centers in the US
IDs showed greater economic and social vulnerability among residents compared to non-IDs. Older adults were more likely to live alone in IDs, potentially compounding difficulty in accessing disease modifying therapies for early AD. These challenges prevent many individuals from accessing breakthrough AD therapies, which are crucial for improving health outcomes in disproportionately affected communities.
