The differential association of education with hippocampal volume and episodic memory in ethnoracially diverse adults aged 90 and older
Education is associated with outcomes of brain health in late-life adulthood, particularly among Black older adults. Future work can examine whether Hispanic older adults face greater challenges during educational attainment and/or subsequent opportunities, affecting brain health outcomes in late-life adulthood. Alternatively, Hispanic individuals may rely on cognitive reserve to maintain memory despite lower hippocampal volume.
