Description
Kerry Sheets and co-authors describe, in a 2025 paper, a new long-term study of brain health among Black older adults. Dementia rates are higher in this group than among white older adults, and the reasons are still poorly understood. The project was built as a companion to a long-running Mayo Clinic aging study.
The study is enrolling 300 Black Minnesotans aged fifty-five to ninety from the Twin Cities area. Community partners lead much of the recruiting. Visits gather heart health, social conditions, daily function, blood markers, and thinking scores, with brain scans for some members. The aim is to find risks that can be changed early.
