## Resource

A Rutgers study in Newark reveals alarming cognitive decline among 160 African American seniors—two-thirds show more memory loss than expected, with nearly half exhibiting signs of mild to severe dementia, including some who believed they were living decades in the past. The findings highlight urgent gaps in early detection and care access, especially for older African Americans disproportionately affected. Researchers are now expanding efforts to intervene sooner, urging families to seek medical help at the first sign of cognitive changes—because early action can truly make a difference.
