Offspring education and cognitive health: A comparison between Hispanic and White older adults in the United States
Higher offspring education was associated with higher baseline cognitive scores regardless of ethnicity or nativity. We found some evidence of an association between higher offspring education and faster cognitive decline, though this association varied by ethnicity and nativity. Higher offspring education was associated with a reduced risk of incident CIND or dementia for Hispanic and White participants but of slightly larger magnitude for Hispanic participants.
