摘要：
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChIs) have been demonstrated to improve Alzheimer disease symptoms. Whether the use of AChIs varies by ethnicity is unknown. More than 2500 ethnically diverse patients (6% African American, 14% Latino, and 7% Asian patients) from the Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers in California were studied. Compared with white patients with AD, minority patients had 40% lower odds of AChI use (odds ratio 0.6, 95% confidence interval: 0.5 to 0.7).
