Due to limited healthcare access and supportive resources, older adults in rural communities may face an increased risk of disease. However, culturally relevant preventative strategies can help mitigate risks. In this symposium, we will discuss challenges influencing rates of cognitive decline in rural populations and approaches to reduce this disparity. Through an instrument design study, Dr. Cassidy will discuss qualitative findings regarding considerations of usability, inclusivity, and cultural relevance for measuring rural health beliefs toward Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) prevention. Dr. Williams will share ADRD risk factors in a diverse rural population around Lake Okeechobee and correlations observed between cognitive function and factors such as education, hypertension, hearing loss, and social connectedness. Dr. Chanti-Ketterl will discuss the Alzheimer’s Gut Microbiome Project implemented in Indigenous communities in North Carolina, highlighting the success of a mobile clinic research approach to exploring the relationship between cognitive function and the gut microbiome. Dr. Hoffman will report on ADRD early detection and biomarker use in Nebraska and Iowa revealing educational efforts are needed to increase knowledge and use of these important diagnostic tools in rural areas. Lastly, Dr. Ferdows will present on higher ADRD mortality rates linked with restrictive state nurse practitioners and physician assistant policies. Collectively, these studies highlight the need for targeted community and multidisciplinary-centered interventions to reduce dementia risksin rural settings.","cbCaisQqwinZ0sDE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisQqwinZ0sDE","pdf",67236,"English","# Session 1020 (Symposium)\n## Overview of rural ADRD risk and prevention\n## Instrument design for culturally relevant measurement\n## Rural ADRD risk factors and cognitive correlations\n## Gut microbiome research in Indigenous communities\n## Early detection, biomarkers, and diagnostic knowledge\n## Policy factors and higher ADRD mortality","[{\"question\":\"Why are older adults in rural communities at increased risk for ADRD?\",\"answer\":\"Limited healthcare access and fewer supportive resources can contribute to higher risk of cognitive decline in rural settings, as discussed in the symposium overview.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the symposium address culturally relevant prevention strategies?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights prevention approaches tailored to rural populations and discusses instrument design research focused on usability, inclusivity, and cultural relevance when measuring rural health beliefs.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics do the participating researchers cover to reduce dementia disparities?\",\"answer\":\"They cover ADRD risk factors and cognitive correlations in rural populations, gut microbiome relationships via a mobile clinic approach, early detection and biomarker use in rural areas, and policy-linked differences in ADRD mortality.\"}]","ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD) IN RURAL COMMUNITIES - Exploring Risks and Pathways to Prevention | PDF",1790630695]
