The present study examined the validity of a Spanish version of the Participation Motivation Inventory, modified for swimming by Gould, Feltz, and Weiss in 1985, and investigated whether young swimmers differing in sex and age vary in their objectives for participation. Swimmers (204 boys and 224 girls, ranging in age from 8 to 22 years) were administered the inventory. Factor analysis with varimax rotation identified seven factors fairly consistent with previous research. Differences were found across age and sex. Females placed greater emphasis than males on Friendship and Fun and indicated lower importance rating to Status. Younger children (8-10 years) rated Fun/Friendship, Competition/Skills, Significant Others, and Status significantly higher in importance than did the other age groups.

Background: The long-term goal of Health & Aging Brain Study - Health Disparities (HABS-HD) is to establish population-specific informed precision medicine for novel treatment and prevention strategies as has been done in other fields. Genomic studies are integral to these efforts and contribute vital data regarding genetic ancestry of the HABS-HD participants, as well as whole genome sequence data, genome-wide genotype (Illumina Global Screening array version 3.0) and epigenetic data (Illumina EPIC DNA methylation array).

December 2024
Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The Neuro), Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) stands as a prominent cognitive impairment screening tool, finding widespread use globally and existing in official versions across 14 languages, including Spanish. Despite this, the challenges emerge due to the extensive variations within the Spanish language, which is not only the fourth most spoken language worldwide but also possesses significant geographic diversity, particularly evident in regions like Peru. Here, the intersection of regional nuances, low educational backgrounds, and culturally distinct tasks complicates the application of a standard MoCA version.
