Apolipoprotein E and change in episodic memory in blacks and whites.
TL;DR: The results suggest that APOE ε4 is related to a faster rate of decline in episodic memory in Blacks similar to Whites, and there were racial differences in the effect ofε4 in other cognitive abilities such that the ε 4 allele was related to faster decline in semantic memory and working memory for Whites but not for Blacks.

TL;DR: Although better global cognitive function was strongly associated with better odor identification, after controlling for multiple factors, the associations with depression and loneliness were unchanged and Clinicians should assess these mental health conditions when treating older patients who present with olfactory deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The preliminary findings suggest that future work in large minority aging cohorts should explore stress as an important source of modifiable, socially-rooted risk for impairment and ADRD in African Americans, who are disproportionately exposed to adverse experiences across the life course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive aging in older Black and White persons.
TL;DR: Decline in semantic memory, perceptual speed, and visuospatial ability was slower in Black persons than White persons, and in semanticMemory and perceptual speed this effect was stronger in older than younger participants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressive Symptoms and Cognitive Decline in Older African Americans: Two Scales and Their Factors
TL;DR: Results suggest that depressive symptoms, particularly anhedonia and negative affect, are related to cognitive decline in older African Americans.
