Disparities in Health and Research in Vietnamese American Community
-
Although Vietnamese Americans are the 4th largest Asian American subgroup, the community’s risk of dementia is unknown.
-
Certain health conditions put Vietnamese Americans at higher risk for ADRD compared to Non-Hispanic Whites. These include experiences of early life adversity, war trauma and immigration stress, hypertension, stress, diabetes, and depression.
-
The Vietnamese Insights into Aging Program (VIP) aims to better understand these factors and how they impact thinking and memory in the Vietnamese American community.
