有几项研究报告称，老年黑人和拉丁裔成年人的认知功能测试分数低于老年白人，但很少有人全面研究分数差异的原因。这项研究评估了健康和社会经济指标的差异，包括识字水平，是否可以解释老年黑人和白人成年人之间认知功能测试分数的差异。
Several studies have reported that older black and Latino adults have lower cognitive function test scores than older white adults, but few have comprehensively examined reasons for score differences. This study evaluates whether differences in health and socioeconomic indicators, including literacy level, can explain differences in cognitive function test scores between older black and white adults.
