Despite the recent recession and accompanying housing crisis, important gains have occurred in U.S. homeownership over the past several decades; however, wide inequalities among minority and immigrant populations remain. Understanding the role of several under-studied factors on housing outcomes, including health status and disability, and differences in financial capital, such as savings, investments, and other assets, remains a major policy initiative. Although past research has examined African American-White housing disparities, it is also important to explore disparities among Hispanics, Asians, and immigrants. This article reviews health and financial capital disparities in homeownership and home values between Whites and minority populations and offers suggestions for future policy research.

Purpose: Uncovering the racial/ethnic health disparities that exist within cardiovascular medicine offers potential to mitigate treatment gaps that might affect outcomes. Socioeconomic status (SES) may be a more appropriate underlying factor to assess these disparities. We aimed to evaluate whether adherence, attendance, and outcomes in cardiac rehabilitation are associated with SES in a safety net hospital.

Background: Latin American Countries (LACs) have major health-related inequities due to historical, cultural, and social aspects. These factors have been suggested as important determinants of healthy aging in LACs. Here, we evaluated classic and socioeconomic risk factors for healthy brain aging across five large cohorts of LACs.

Background: Dementia is a critical public health issue with known health disparities. Social determinants of health (SDOH) and health-related social needs (HRSN) may influence differences across various health outcomes, including cognitive functioning. We describe the association between subjective cognitive decline (SCD), an early indicator of possible future dementia, and select adverse SDOH-HRSN.

Background: Residence in highly socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods has recently been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology at autopsy, cognitive decline, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of volumetric brain atrophy in cognitively unimpaired adults. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence that markers of brain microstructure derived from diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), including neurite density index (NDI), orientation dispersion index (ODI), and isotropic volume fraction (ISO), are sensitive to AD-related neurodegeneration. In this study, we used linear mixed-effects (LME) modeling to investigate the hypothesis that neighborhood-level disadvantage is associated with mixed-longitudinal trajectories of microstructural neurodegeneration in 539 late-middle-aged participants across the AD continuum.

Background: Black Americans (BAs), Hispanics/Latinos (H/Ls), and Africans (As) face a disproportionate burden of aging and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD), coupled with underrepresentation in research. Further, researchers also report a lack of compliance on sensitive social determinants of health data for AD/ADRD research. For instance, the PRAPARE tool reports a low completion rate in community and clinical settings.
