Abstract

This article systematically reviews modifiable risk factors associated with cognitive decline in Hispanic elders, based on eight peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2013 and 2023. Key risk factors identified include low education levels, low socioeconomic status, limited healthcare access, unmarried status, unhealthy lifestyle habits, midlife obesity, diabetes, hypertension, depression, and hearing loss. These factors align with those found in other ethnic groups and highlight the need for targeted interventions at multiple societal levels to improve cognitive health outcomes and reduce medical costs among Hispanic and other racial/ethnic minority populations. The review notes limitations due to the scarcity of empirical studies and insufficient differentiation among Hispanic subgroups and regions.
