Factors associated with cognitive impairment in Latin American older adults: A cross‐sectional observational study of COVID‐19 confinement

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The effects of COVID‐19 confinement have been severe, especially in older adults. Therefore, we analyzed the factors associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in Latin America (LA). METHODS We conducted a cross‐sectional observational study with a total of 5245 older adults from 10 countries in LA.

“…In true reflection of the deeply multifaceted nature of this line of inquiry, the topics covered in this special issue span a diverse array of content areas such as SDoH‐linked cognitive decline across racial groups, the lack of representativeness in ADRD research, the effects of early life experiences on late‐life cognition, the impact of COVID‐19 on cognitive impairment in older adults, the economic burden associated with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia, proposals emanating from workshops and perspectives on improving access to timely diagnosis, differences in performance across racial groups on commonly used instruments for tracking cognitive change, and novel methodologies that can be used to better understand how the environment affects brain health. 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 Taken together, the studies in this special issue bring us closer to identifying key constructs related to economic stability, social and community context, access to and quality of health care, and other things that are linked to cognitive outcomes and the progression to ADRD in minoritized older adults.…”
