About This Older Adults (65 Years and Older) Study in Jacksonville

Hispanic Americans are the fastest growing older adult group in the United States, disproportionally increasing the risk of an Alzheimer's disease and related dementias diagnosis. Efforts to reduce this risk and mitigate the related cognitive/physical declines are critical. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of enrolling older adults into an aging trajectory cohort, while generating preliminary data on associations of physical and cognitive aging trajectories. Our secondary objective is to generate preliminary data on the association of standard measures of physical activity and physical function with cognitive status. This study fits within our longitudinal research goal to reduce dementia incidence by understanding the mechanisms that drive the cognitive-physical aging trajectory.

Sponsor: University of Florida
