#BSEA Key Findings:
🥼 2019 Medicare data for all AI/AN adults adults aged 65+ years with ADRD
🥼 AI/AN adults had higher hospital use (45.5% vs. 40.8%) and 27.7% higher hospital days compared to non-Hispanic White adults
🥼 In both populations, hospital utilization increased with health burden
What is the relationship between health status and social determinants with hospitalization among American Indian & Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults with Alzheimer's disease?
