The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: NA
Abstract

US elderly population is rapidly becoming more diverse. Historically, studies of aging and dementia do not reflect this increase in diversity. Aging and cognitive health is affected by psychosocial and environmental determinants that particularly impact diverse groups. White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) are imaging findings that have been linked to dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease processes.

To date, we are not aware of a systematic review that has investigated the extent to which white matter hyperintensities contribute to the ethno-racial disparities in dementia and cognitive impairment.
