Socioeconomic and psychosocial mechanisms underlying racial/ethnic disparities in cognition among older adults.

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: This study suggests that psychosocial factors may explain racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive aging above and beyond socioeconomic indicators. More external perceived control, which could reflect chronic exposure to interpersonal and institutional marginalization, may be a particularly salient psychosocial risk factor for poorer cognitive aging among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic older adults.
