Alzheimer’s Disproportionately
impacts Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics, but the research doesn’t reflect that reality. Dr. O’Bryant wants to understand how this disease presents across the community.

Dr. O’Bryant’s Health & Aging Brain study – Health Disparities (HABS-HD) is the most comprehensive large scale study of
brain aging among diverse and at-risk communities in history. This study is designed to be a model and scalable in
the fight against Alzheimer's that is disproportionately affecting Blacks and Hispanic communities.
