Summary

This study follows thousands of Black and white adults in Baltimore over many years to understand how race and income differences lead to health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and memory loss as people age. Participants complete health exams, questionnaires, and some get brain scans. The goal is to learn why some groups age less healthily than others, not to test a new treatment.
