There is limited information regarding the impact of sociodemographic variables on the neuropsychological test performance of the Spanish-speaking older adult residing in the United States (US). This study examines the influence of age, education, gender, age of arrival in the US, percentage of lifetime in the US, acculturation, and reported depressive symptoms on neuropsychological test performance in a group of cognitively normal Spanish-speaking elders, the majority of whom were Cuban born. Educational attainment had a broad effect on test scores, with the other variables having only limited effects. These results underscore the impact of educational attainment on neuropsychological test performance among the cognitively normal Spanish-speaking older adult.
关于社会人口统计学变量对居住在美国的讲西班牙语的老年人神经心理测试表现的影响，相关信息有限。本研究考察了年龄、教育程度、性别、抵达美国的年龄、在美国生活的时长百分比、文化适应程度以及报告的抑郁症状对一组认知正常的讲西班牙语的老年人神经心理测试表现的影响，其中大多数人出生于古巴。教育程度对测试分数有广泛影响，而其他变量的影响有限。这些结果强调了教育程度对讲西班牙语的认知正常的老年人神经心理测试表现的影响。
