The fight to end Alzheimer’s
By Brittany Anderson
HAYS COUNTY — Advocacy on behalf of the Hispanic community’s fight against Alzheimer’s is needed now more than ever.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Hispanic Americans are 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and other dementias than older white Americans. In less than 30 years, the number of Hispanic elders with Alzheimer’s or other dementias could increase from nearly 200,000 today to as many as 1.3 million.
