Associations of Subjective Memory Concerns with Chronic Stress and Social Support in Mexican Americans: A Longitudinal Study

Individuals with higher chronic stress and lower social support tended to report more memory concerns compared to individuals with lower chronic stress and higher social support. These findings suggest that Mexican Americans facing stressors or having fewer social supports may be a group particularly at risk for ADRDs. Future research may examine if social support mediates the between-person effects of long-term stressors on SMCs through a longitudinal mediation model.
