Reproductive health history and later life cognition in African Caribbean women
Later age at first birth is linked to better cognitive function, independent of other reproductive, demographic, and health factors. This study provides novel insights into cognitive aging among African Caribbean women, an understudied population, addressing a critical gap in research on reproductive history and cognition. This study highlights the need for further research on the longitudinal association between reproductive history and cognition, particularly in African Caribbean women.
