The Alzheimer's Association of America has announced a new initiative, funded by MetLife Foundation, to promote education and awareness about Alzheimer's disease to the Latino population. According to recent reports, U.S. Latinos develop symptoms of Alzheimer's earlier, on average, than white non-Latino people, and Hispanics are also among the fastest growing populations affected by the disease; by 2050, the number of Hispanics in the U.S. with Alzheimer's is expected to increase 600 percent, from the current 200,000 people to 1.3 million. The project will link chapters of the Alzheimer's Association with affiliates of the National Council of LaRaza (NCLR), the Washington, D.C. based advocacy group for the Hispanic community.
