Racial disparities in Alzheimer’s survival - Alzheimer's Disease- msnbc.com: WASHINGTON - U.S. Latinos and blacks live longer after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease than whites even as autopsies show that the severity of the disease is similar among them, researchers said on Wednesday.
Latinos lived approximately 40 percent longer than whites after diagnosis with the disease, and blacks lived about 15 percent longer than whites, the researchers reported in the journal Neurology.
The researchers tracked 30,916 people ages 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease from across the United States.
