Abstract

This article examines differences in how social determinants of health (SDOH) predict all-cause dementia risk among Mexican American and non-Hispanic White older adults. Using data from the Health and Aging Brain Study: Health Disparities, the study found that higher social support and income were linked to less cognitive and functional impairment across both groups. However, greater physical exercise predicted less impairment only in non-Hispanic White participants, while higher educational attainment predicted less impairment only in Mexican American participants. These findings indicate that specific SDOH factors may differentially influence dementia risk in these populations, suggesting the need for further research into the quality and type of these factors to better protect cognitive health.
