Influences of general and specific psycho‐social factors on cognitive health of sexual minority older adults
This is the first targeted study highlighting that SMOAs experience more detrimental effects of anxiety than HOAs on attentional functions. Minority stress primarily affects subjective cognitive health of SMOAs, while outness appears to provide resilience against cognitive decline. Further investigations are needed to ascertain longitudinal cognitive changes and to devise potential prevention strategies aimed at preserving cognitive health in SMOAs.
