More than one-third of Black Americans (36%), and nearly one-fifth of Hispanic Americans (18%) and Asian Americans (19%), believes discrimination would be a barrier to receiving Alzheimer\u2019s care. In addition, half or more of non-White caregivers say they have experienced discrimination when navigating health care settings for their care recipient.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>2021 Facts and Figures<\/em>\u00a0report provides an in-depth look at the latest national statistics on Alzheimer\u2019s prevalence, incidence, mortality, costs of care and impact on caregivers. For the first time, the accompanying special report,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/media\/Documents\/alzheimers-facts-and-figures-special-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Race, Ethnicity and Alzheimer\u2019s in America<\/em><\/a>\u00a0examines perspectives and experiences of Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native and White Americans in regard to Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia care.<\/p>\n<p>Findings in the report reveal that non-White racial\/ethnic populations expect and experience more barriers when accessing dementia care, have less trust in medical research and are less confident that they have access to health professionals who understand their ethnic and racial background and experiences. Among the findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two-thirds of Black Americans (66%) believe it is harder for them to get excellent care for Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other dementias. Likewise, 2 in 5 Native Americans (40%) and Hispanic Americans (39%) believe their own race or ethnicity makes it harder to get care, as do one-third of Asian Americans (34%).<\/li>\n<li>Nearly two-thirds of Black Americans (62%) believe that medical research is biased against people of color \u2014 a view shared by substantial numbers of Asian Americans (45%), Native Americans (40%) and Hispanic Americans (36%) as well. Only half of Black Americans (53%) trust a future cure for Alzheimer\u2019s will be shared equally regardless of race, color or ethnicity.<\/li>\n<li>Fewer than half of Black (48%) and Native Americans (47%) feel confident they have access to providers who understand their ethnic or racial background and experiences, and only about 3 in 5 Asian Americans (63%) and Hispanics (59%) likewise feel confident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cDespite ongoing efforts to address health and health care disparities in Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia care, survey results show there is still a lot of work to be done,\u201d said Carl V. Hill, Ph.D., MPH, chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, Alzheimer\u2019s Association. \u201cClearly, discrimination, lack of diversity among health care professionals and mistrust in medical research create significant barriers to care and demand the country\u2019s full attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Episodes of discrimination, however, extend beyond Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia care. The Alzheimer\u2019s Association surveys found that many non-White Americans say they have experienced discrimination in the broader health care system. Specifically:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Half of Black Americans (50%) report they\u2019ve experienced discrimination when seeking health care; more than 4 in 10 Native Americans (42%) and one-third of Asian Americans (34%) and Hispanic Americans (33%) likewise report having experienced health care discrimination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The experiences and views of discrimination expressed by respondents in both surveys are also reflected in their views on clinical trial participation.<\/p>\n<p>Black Americans have less interest in clinical research trials to prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. White Americans are most likely to express interest (82%), followed by Native Americans (81%), Hispanic Americans (78%), Asian Americans (73%) and lastly, Black Americans (67%).<\/p>\n<p>The most common reason cited for not participating in clinical trials among all racial\/ethnic groups is not wanting to be a \u201cguinea pig.\u201d This sentiment was especially strong among Black Americans (69%). In addition, almost half of Black Americans (45%) worry that treatments might cause sickness. They are also twice as likely as other groups to say they \u201cdon\u2019t trust medical research.\u201d And they are more than twice as likely as other racial or ethnic groups to say they \u201cmight not be treated fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As noted in the\u00a0<em>2021 Facts and Figures<\/em>\u00a0report, health and socioeconomic disparities and systemic racism contribute to increased Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia risk in communities of color. According to the report, older Blacks and Hispanics are disproportionately more likely to have Alzheimer\u2019s and other dementias. In addition, both groups are more likely to have missed diagnoses than older Whites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must continue to accelerate efforts to engage more people from underrepresented populations in Alzheimer\u2019s disease research and clinical trials,\u201d said Maria Carrillo, Ph.D., chief science officer, Alzheimer\u2019s Association. \u201cIf trials do not include diverse participants, it is impossible to get a complete understanding of how racial and ethnic differences may affect the benefit and safety of potential treatments. Future clinical trial structures and recruitment efforts must lead to a better representation of the entire population, so everyone benefits from advances in Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact of COVID-19<\/strong><br \/>\nThe report also examines the devastating impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on people living with Alzheimer\u2019s. According to the report, there were at least 42,000 more deaths from Alzheimer\u2019s and other dementias in 2020 compared with averages over the previous five years \u2014 a 16% increase.<\/p>\n<p>The report highlights preliminary and anecdotal data indicating the COVID-19 pandemic is also having adverse effects on many family caregivers. It notes that pandemic-related caregiving challenges, including the shutdown of adult day care centers and the inability for families to visit or communicate with relatives in long-term care settings, have caused \u201cemotional distress and other negative outcomes among caregivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Alzheimer\u2019s Association and representatives from more than 30 countries have formed an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/research\/for_researchers\/partnerships\/sars-cov2-global-brain-study\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">international consortium to study<\/a>\u00a0the short- and long-term consequences of COVID-19 on the brain and nervous system in people at different ages, and from different genetic backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Facts and Figures: At a Glance<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Prevalence, Incidence and Mortality<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer\u2019s dementia in 2021.<\/li>\n<li>More than 1 in 9 people (11.3%) age 65 and older has Alzheimer\u2019s dementia.<\/li>\n<li>Two-thirds of Americans over age 65 with Alzheimer\u2019s dementia (3.8 million) are women.<\/li>\n<li>Deaths due to Alzheimer\u2019s between 2000 and 2019 has more than doubled, increasing 145%.<\/li>\n<li>1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer\u2019s or another dementia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Caregiving<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2020, more than 11 million caregivers of people with Alzheimer\u2019s or other dementias provided an estimated 15.3 billion hours of unpaid care, a contribution to the nation valued at $257 billion.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly half of all caregivers (48%) who provide help to older adults do so for someone with Alzheimer\u2019s or another dementia.<\/li>\n<li>Approximately two-thirds of caregivers are women, and one-third of dementia caregivers are daughters.<\/li>\n<li>Forty-one percent of caregivers have a household income of $50,000 or less.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Cost of Care<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2021, total payments for all individuals with Alzheimer\u2019s or other dementias are estimated at $355 billion (not including unpaid caregiving).<\/li>\n<li>Medicare and Medicaid are expected to cover $239 billion or 67% of the total health care and long-term care payments for people with Alzheimer\u2019s or other dementias.

Respondents were asked about access to care and support services, trust in providers and the health care system, participation in clinical trials and research, and caregiver experiences. Surveys were conducted October 26 &#8211; November 11, 2020. Data was collected by NORC at the University of Chicago via the AmeriSpeak\u00ae panel. AmeriSpeak is a probability-based panel of all U.S. households.The survey included 945 White respondents. Oversamples of Hispanic (n=541), Black (n=515) and Asian Americans (n=412) were weighted back to their true population proportions for statistical analysis and reporting. For full inclusion of Native Americans, the same survey was administered to an additional sample of 406 Native Americans recruited through online (non-probability) panels with sampling stratified and data weighted on gender, age, income and education to match U.S. Census Bureau data. The surveys were offered in both English and Spanish.
