Clinical Manifestations.

Background: Latinos represent the fastest-growing subpopulation of U.S. older adults and are 1.

Clinical Manifestations.

Background: Stressors occurring over the lifespan (i.e., lifetime stressor exposure) are hypothesized to contribute to greater risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

Clinical Manifestations.

Background: Sleep apnea is associated with risk of objectively-measured cognitive decline and dementia, as well as with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), itself a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia. This relationship is understudied in ethnoracially diverse groups, however, including Latinos. This study examined associations among self-reported sleep apnea risk, SCD, and cognitive performance in community-dwelling older Latino adults.

Sleep Apnea Risk, Subjective Cognitive Decline, and Cognitive Performance: Findings from the Boston Latino Aging Study.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. These relations are understudied in ethnoracially diverse groups. We examined associations among self-reported OSA risk, SCD, and cognitive performance in community-dwelling older Latinos.
