The "novel investigation" is part of the "Rainbows of Aging" research being conducted by the University of California, San Francisco. The study began last month, and has received $142,974 from taxpayers so far.
"By 2030, there will be nearly six million sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults aged 60 and older in the U.S. who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender," according to the grant for the project. "Approximately 350,000 SGM older adults in the U.S. currently have Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), with projections nearing one million by 2030."
"Yet, almost nothing is known about the prevalence or risk of ADRD in SGM older adults without HIV/AIDS," the grant states.
Researchers said the study is important because "nothing is currently known" about older gays and lesbians with Alzheimer's but who do not have HIV. Further study is necessary to provide "culturally relevant screenings."

IF as stated, these folks are "elderly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who have Alzheimer's" - how in the hell are they are going to remember who/what they are?
Really/truthfully, inquiring minds would really like to know!
Until then - THREE days until TGIF....2 days until SUNFEST and loading up on carbs/beer in the SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't they also do a study that when a dog licks his / her own butt, does their breath smell like crap ?
Another big waste of money !!!
LGBT,let God burn them
Let the Snowflakes pay for it.
Lol
Have some compassion. Bruce Jenner, Cynthia Nixon and the rest of the Hollyweird crowd aren't getting any younger. Soon enough they'll be wandering around town in sensible shoes with stockings rolled down to the knee.
Money would be better spent figuring out the chicken or the egg question.
"..Let the Snowflakes pay for it.."
They already are. They are paying for everything. We ran out of money a long time ago.. this is all being done with debt.
1:34 LOL!!!
1:42 "let God burn them"
Wow, I guess you think God loves you more for saying that? Do you thin God would wish death upon someone? You're a hate filled human and I hope you get all that is coming to you!
p.s. you will NEVER meet God if this is how you live. Straight to HELL is where you are going.
Aw is that not sweet more rainbow BS
God has already, according to the Bible, wished death upon groups of humans (Sodom and Gomorrah) as well as all of mankind (the great flood with Noah) !
