South Asians are highly underrepresented in Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias (ADRD) research.


South Asians may also have higher rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease — at younger ages than other groups, placing them at potentially higher risk for ADRD

The SAMARTH study is the first longitudinal study of cognitive aging in South Asians in the U.S. The goal of the SAMARTH project is to identify risk & resilience factors for ADRD
