Maria Mora Pinzon, MD, MS, FACPM, recently gave an interview in Spanish about Alzheimer’s disease, its impact on Latinos and brain health.
Latinos are less likely to receive a diagnosis and treatment, are more likely to receive care at home by unpaid caregivers, and develop Alzheimer’s disease symptoms earlier than non-Hispanic whites. Diagnostic tests for Alzheimer’s disease are typically not evaluated for Latino populations nor given in the preferred language.
“Una doctora local habla sobre la salud del cerebro y los signos de la demencia y el Alzheimer” aired on Telemundo Wisconsin on March 14, 2022.
