Abstract

The article focuses on the Caribbean American Dementia and Aging Study (CADAS), a research initiative aimed at understanding health and dementia among older adults in the Hispanic Caribbean, specifically in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. The study will survey nationally representative samples of 1,500 adults aged 65 and over from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, along with 1,500 adults from selected areas in Cuba. Data collection includes health metrics, cognitive assessments, and socioeconomic background, with the goal of contributing to a better understanding of aging and dementia in the region. The research is supported by the National Institutes of Health and aims to promote cross-national comparative studies on aging and dementia. [Extracted from the article]
