The United States is more racially/ethnically diverse than at any point in the country’s history as a result of immigration, intermarriage, and multiracial identification. The Latino and Asian populations have more than tripled in size since 1970; Latinos are now the largest racial/ethnic minority group, and Asians, the fastest growing group in the country. Also contributing to America’s new diversity is increasing intermarriage and a growing multiracial population. Intermarriage soared more than twenty-fold between 1960 and 2000, and the multiracial population is poised to account for one in five Americans by 2050, and one in three by 2100. However, this new diversity is not evenly apparent across the country. Some states—like California—reflect the new diversity, which is also evident at the metropolitan level. In other states, the new diversity is nearly invisible. The pattern of high and low diversity in the United States reflects the country’s vast heterogeneity.

Abstract This symposium addresses issues surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) across multiple racial/ethnic minority groups, including African Americans, Latinos, and Arab Americans. Using US national data, Kindratt and colleagues challenge the universality of the healthy migrant effect by comparing patterns of cognitive disability across US- and foreign-born Arab Americans. Arab Americans represent an increasingly visible ethnic minority group whose unique history has the potential to clarify knowledge about sociocultural influences on ADRD. Also using US national data, Garcia and colleagues examine within-group heterogeneity among Latinos. They conclude that the number of years and proportion of life spent with and without subjective cognitive impairment differ as a function of ancestry and nativity. Using data from two local communities, Diminich and colleagues investigate mechanisms underlying ADRD risk among Latinos by considering both stress responding and plasma-based AD biomarkers as predictors of Latino cognitive health. Lee and colleagues focus on social relationships and cognitive aging in a diverse, national cohort. They suggest that the quality of social support from social network members may uniquely affect the cognitive functioning of African Americans older adults. Finally, Cerise Elliott from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) will offer perspectives on how racial/ethnic minority group focused research can advance NIA’s goals related to understanding and eliminating ADRD inequalities. In total, this symposium highlights the need to disaggregate racial/ethnic groups, as well as the importance of incorporating both individual and contextual factors in order to fully understand patterns of ADRD risk and resilience.
