Description
Eleven researchers study sleep and thinking in middle aged Latinas in a 2025 paper. Latino adults face up to double the risk of Alzheimer's and related diseases of white peers. Poor sleep has been tied to worse thinking in this group, yet data on Latinas in farm towns are thin.
The study drew 513 women, mean age near forty-nine, from a long running Salinas Valley cohort. Women reported nightly sleep length, sleep quality, and nap habits. A standard test battery scored memory, executive function, and word fluency. Mean sleep ran over eight hours, and most women never napped. Models weigh each sleep trait against thinking scores with many controls.
