A new study looked into the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease by county.
There are more people with Alzheimer's disease living in the eastern and southeastern parts of the U.S., a study published Monday in The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association found.
It concluded states with more people older than 85, more women and more minorities — specifically Black people — had a higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. By county, the study found Florida's Miami-Dade County, Maryland's Baltimore City and New York's Bronx County had the highest Alzheimer's prevalence rates, each with 16.6% of residents above 65 having the disease.
