BACKGROUND
Blacks are under-represented in government-funded research. Epidemiological data indicate that morbidity and mortality in the United States are higher in Blacks than in Whites.
OBJECTIVE
To examine memory performance in a sample of Black and White healthy men 70 years of age and older.
METHOD
Sixty-nine (24 Black, 45 White) men participated in a study of memory performance. All individuals lived either in private homes or subsidized high-rise apartments.
RESULTS
Black men had higher anxiety about their memories, used fewer internal and external memory strategies, and had less confidence and less understanding of their everyday memory than White men. Based on their depression scores, more Black men (35%) were at risk for depression than White men (10%). Even though there were no differences in the numbers of men who lived alone, White men were five times more likely to be married and live with a spouse (27 vs. 5).
CONCLUSION
In this sample of Black and White men, there were no differences in actual memory performance, but significant differences were found in the subjective aspects of memory evaluation.
背景
在政府资助的研究中，黑人的参与度不足。流行病学数据表明，美国黑人的发病率和死亡率高于白人。
目的
研究70岁及以上黑人和白人健康男性的记忆表现。
方法
69名男性（24名黑人，45名白人）参与了一项记忆表现研究。所有个体均居住在私人住宅或补贴型高层公寓中。
结果
与白人男性相比，黑人男性对自己的记忆力更焦虑，使用的内部和外部记忆策略更少，对日常记忆的信心和理解也更低。根据抑郁评分，有抑郁风险的黑人男性（35%）比白人男性（10%）更多。尽管独居男性数量没有差异，但白人男性结婚并与配偶同住的可能性是黑人男性的五倍（27人对5人）。
结论
在这个黑人和白人男性样本中，实际记忆表现没有差异，但在记忆评估的主观方面发现了显著差异。
