Neurocognitive Sequelae of COVID‐19 in Older African American Adults
We demonstrate persistent COVID-19 cognitive impairments impacting memory, attention, executive function, and global function within a socioeconomically disadvantaged older AA adult population. Limited access to healthcare resources in medically underserved areas can lead to delayed or inadequate COVID-19 treatment, potentially increasing the risk of neurological complications and cognitive deficits in African American populations.
