Lack of Relation Between Race and Cognitive Test Performance in Alzheimer's Disease
Neurol 50:1499-1501, Carlson,M.G.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
This study evaluated cognitive test performance in African-American and Europeans-American Alzheimer's disease patients with equivalent years of education.Group differences were negligible on a variety of memory, language,and attention measures,including several widely used neuropsychological tests.Differences between racial groups observed in earlier studies may have stemmed,in part,from the differences in education,which may itself serve as a proxy for other potentially important sociologic and health variables.
