To date, the vast majority of research in support of brain,
genomic and blood biomarkers of Alzheimer9s disease
comes from homogenous non-Hispanic white research
partners. The Health & Aging Brain Study 3 Health
Disparities (HABS-HD) is a community-based cohort
designed to fill this gap in the field. HABS-HD has enrolled
over 1,500 Hispanic, 1,500 Black/African American and
1,500 non-Hispanic white research partners. To date,
HABS-HD has collected over 7,000 MRI scans, 5,000 PET
amyloid scans and 3,000 PET tau scans with full systems
biology
