The Caribbean‐American Dementia and Aging Study (CADAS): A Multinational Initiative to Address Dementia in Caribbean Populations

There are differential associations between SES risk factors, education, and dementia probability between Caribbean islands and the U.S., which may be attributed to differences across societies in risk factors correlated with education. The CADAS study will fill a critical gap in AD knowledge, exploiting rich variation in life-course exposures to better disentangle genetic versus environmental determinants of dementia levels and disparities. Future studies within this populations will focus on early-life socioeconomic status, gene by environment interactions and societal cost.
