This study contributes to gerontological research by illuminating how structural, cultural, and geographic factors intersect to shape cognitive aging among diverse Latino populations. These findings underscore the importance of moving beyond pan-ethnic categorizations to understand cognitive health disparities within the Latino population. They also highlight the role of state-level sociopolitical environments in shaping cognitive health outcomes. Public health strategies should prioritize culturally and geographically tailored interventions, particularly in high-risk states, to improve access to cognitive screening and early diagnosis
