ObjectiveAccelerated biological aging is a plausible and modifiable determinant of dementia burden facing minoritized communities but is not well-studied in these historically underrepresented populations. Our objective was to preliminarily characterize relationships between telomere length and cognitive health among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and Black/African American (B/AA) middle-aged and older adults.MethodsThis study included dat…

Still, the inclusion of the embodied experience of air pollution has been limited. Also, the health effects of pollution are often studied at the group or population level, without adequately considering individual difference. This paper uses a Bio3Science fram…
