The association between cognitive tests and stages of cognitive decline in Caribbean Hispanics
In our sample of CH individuals, we found performance on measures of delayed contextual memory (Logical Memory), working memory (Digit Span Backwards and Trails B) and semantic fluency (Animals) to be most useful in differentiating individuals clinically diagnosed as unaffected, MCI, or AD. These results highlight possible performance patterns specific to CH that can inform adjudication efforts with this population.
