Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Aging Data Portal

The Alzheimer’s Disease and Healthy Aging Data Portal provides national, regional, and state data on older adults. The Portal allows users to examine data on key indicators of health and well-being for older Americans, including caregiving and cognitive decline, by age group, gender, and race/ethnicity.

The Portal was updated with 2020 BRFSS data, including data on cognitive decline for 2015-2020 from 50 states and data on caregivers for 2015-2020 from 44 states. Portal users can retrieve CDC data by indicator or geographic area and use the data to develop reports and create customized maps, charts, and graphics.
