Intergenerational Education and Late-life Cognitive Performance
Episodic memory trajectories of older adults with and without HIV
With the introduction of antiretroviral treatment (ART), life expectancy among people with HIV in South Africa has increased substantially. This ageing population faces age-related challenges, including cognitive decline. Yet, differences in cognitive trends between people with and without HIV remain poorly understood. We analyzed longitudinal data on 3,066 adults aged 40 + years in rural South Africa from the “Health and Aging in Africa: Longitu…
Recommended best practices for construct-centered adaptation of the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol
The HCAP neuropsychological assessment approach has unique considerations for adaptation that balance the needs of local validity with cross-national harmonization. Shared best practices for HCAP adaptation will improve the quality of cross-national HCAP data collection, data harmonization, analyses, and inferences. The HCAP is a useful model for cross-nationally harmonized data collection and research to improve our understanding of cognitive ag…
Associations between cohort derived dementia and Covid-19 serological diagnosis among older Black adults in rural South Africa
Objectives This study investigates the association between cohort derived dementia and serologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, an underexplored phenomena in low-and middle-income countries. Examining this relationship in a rural South African community setting offers insights applicable to broader healthcare contexts. Methods Data were collected from Black South Africans in the Mpumalanga province who participated in the Health and Aging in…
