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.
