In today's episode, Dr. Seema Aggarwal sat down with Dr. Yejin Kim to discuss Dr. Kim, along with many other UTHealth Houston and Stroke Institute researchers, an article from March 2022, a counterfactual analysis of differential comorbidity risk factors in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Their analysis discovered different comorbidities that predispose older African Americans to AD compared to Caucasian counterparts. The findings from their study, which used data collected from nationwide electronic health records will assist in developing a targeted treatment for AD.
