“Social Determinants of Health for Alzheimer’s Disease and
Related Dementias”
Rajesh Tampi, M.D. and Pallavi Joshi, D.O.
Creighton University, Creighton, NE
Dementia is the 7th leading cause of death, and a major cause of dependency and disability in the world. Social determinants of health (SDoH) are the non-biological factors that impact health outcomes, functioning, and their quality-of-life. The cumulative effects of SDoH across a lifespan can impact the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). While there is significant research on the biological factors of ADRD, SDoH of ADRD have not been well characterized. However, there is growing evidence that SDoH can increase the risk of ADRD. In this Webinar, we review the SDoH that contribute to ADRD, and how we can use them at an individual, health system, and societal level to reduce the risk for these important disorders. We will define social determinants of health, discuss the SDoH for ADRD, and describe how these SDoH can be used to reduce the risk for ADRD.
