Harmonized cognitive performance in an older adult cohort of Vietnamese American immigrants: The VIP study
This is the first known study to model cognition in older Vietnamese Americans. Global cognition was harmonized with minimal bias across two diverse cohorts. Differential item functioning was found in five of seven items, but the impact was not salient. Results create new opportunities to study health disparities in an underrepresented group.
