Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between social activity and neurocognition in older adults with HIV, comparing Latino and non-Hispanic White individuals. The study involved 114 community-dwelling people with HIV (PWH), half of whom were Latino, assessing their engagement in social activities and neurocognitive performance. Findings showed that increased social activity was associated with better global neurocognition in non-Hispanic White PWH but not in Latino PWH, despite similar levels of social engagement across groups. The results suggest that the protective effects of social activity on neurocognition may differ by ethnicity, underscoring the need for further research on cultural factors influencing this relationship in diverse older adults with HIV.
