Associations between Mild Behavioral Impairment and Functional Impairment in Cognitively Unimpaired Community‐dwelling Older Latinos

Abstract

Background: Latinos are 1.5 times more likely than non‐Latino Whites to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), characterized by new neuropsychiatric symptoms in adults over 50, is associated with cognitive impairment, dementia, and increased functional burden in later life.
