Influence of Birthplace and Age at Migration on Cognitive Aging Among Hispanic/Latino Populations in the United States: Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Although Hispanic/Latino populations in the United States are remarkably diverse in terms of birthplace and age at migration, we poorly understand how these factors are associated with cognitive aging. Our research seeks to operationalize a life course perspective of migration and health and contribute new understanding of Alzheimer's disease/Alzheimer's disease-related dementias among U.S.-based Hispanic/Latino older adults.

Research design and methods

Harnessing the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (n = 16,415) and the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (n = 6,377) data, we compare baseline cognition and 7-year cognitive change among U.S./mainland-born Hispanic/Latino adults relative to foreign/island-born immig
