First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at why Native Americans in Wisconsin have higher stroke risk. Nineteen adults aged 55-90 from the Oneida Nation received an MRI, a carotid ultrasound, and cognitive tests. The goal was to see how stroke risk factors relate to brain health, such as brain thickness, white matter damage, and blood flow.

- If successful, this study could help identify why Native Americans have higher stroke risk and point toward better prevention strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, observational study with only 19 participants. It was not designed to test a treatment, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes.
