Objectives Recent research suggests that social engagement may be protective against cognitive decline and dementia. The current study examined the association between social engagement and cognition in a large, ethnoracially diverse cognitively unimpaired cohort of older adults selected for study inclusion based on multi-dimensional risk for cognitive decline. Methods We analyzed baseline data from a subset of older adults (N = 1,951; Mage = 68.…

Methods We examined the association of depressive symptoms and cognitive functioning in 2,103 participants (aged 60–79) at baseline for U.S. POINTER, a multisite, 2…
The Role of Early-Life Educational Quality and Literacy in Explaining Racial Disparities in Cognition in Late Life
Early-life educational quality and literacy in late life explain a substantial portion of race-related disparities in late-life cognitive function
Association of Vascular Risk Factors With Cognition in a Multiethnic Sample
CVRFs are associated with poorer cognitive functioning, but not cognitive decline, among minority older adults. These relationships vary by gender and medication use. Consideration of unique racial, ethnic, and cultural factors is needed when examining relationships between CVRFs and cognition
