Objective Cognition Impairment Comparisons between Sexual Minority and Non‐Sexual Minority Older Adults

Overall, levels of cognitive impairment were largely similar between SM and non-SM groups. However, the SM group was trending toward a higher risk for orientation impairment. This domain specificity may reflect acute changes to cognition rather than long-standing cognitive impairment. Further research is needed to determine 1) if these findings remain in larger, more diverse samples and 2) the possible biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying these findings.

Abstract

Overall, levels of cognitive impairment were largely similar between SM and non-SM groups. However, the SM group was trending toward a higher risk for orientation impairment. This domain specificity may reflect acute changes to cognition rather than long-standing cognitive impairment. Further research is needed to determine 1) if these findings remain in larger, more diverse samples and 2) the possible biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying these findings.
