Description
Catherine Garcia and Lauren Brown examine in 2023 how social position and biology together shape thinking skills in older Hispanic and Latino adults. This group is the fastest-growing share of older Americans and faces high risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
Research has covered many social and cultural factors, the authors note, but the pathways that produce unequal rates of dementia are still poorly mapped. They call for work that follows people across the life course and at several levels at once, from neighborhoods to bodies. Their piece lays out a framework for research that takes both identity and biology seriously.
