Abstract

Background

Past research suggests that subjective cognitive decline serves as an early and potentially important indicator that individuals may be at risk for future cognitive decline or neurodegenerative conditions. However, there is a dearth of studies on factors influencing the experience of subjective cognitive decline in Black Americans, especially in Black American men.

Objective

The current study explored correlates of subjective cognitive decline in Black American men.

Participants

A total of 117 Black American men, with a mean age of 38.5 (SD = 7.14) years, participated in the study.

Measurement

Participants completed a survey that assessed their demographic characteristics, self-rated health, neighborhood problems, length of residency in neighborhood, bodily symptoms, sleep comorbidities, sleep difficulties, and subjective cognitive decline. Linear regression analyses was performed and standardized beta coefficients were reported to describe the estimated independent effect of the predictor variables.

Results

We found that socioecomic status (β = −.222, p=.003), bodily symptoms (β =.246, p=.005), length of residency in neighborhood (β =.157, p=.029), and sleep difficulties (β =.305, p<.001) were significant correlates of subjective cognitive decline among Black American men.

Conclusion

These findings underscore the intricate roles of socioeconomic status, bodily symptoms, neighborhood factors, and sleep health in shaping subjective cognitive experiences in this population. Research on subjective cognitive decline can contribute to the early identification of individuals at risk for cognitive decline, allowing for timely interventions, lifestyle modifications, and potential preventive measures.

美国黑人男性主观认知能力下降的相关因素
背景过去的研究表明,主观认知能力下降是个人可能面临未来认知能力下降或神经退行性疾病风险的一个早期且潜在的重要指标。然而,有关影响美国黑人,尤其是美国黑人男性主观认知能力下降的因素的研究却非常缺乏。测量参与者完成了一项调查,该调查评估了他们的人口统计学特征、自评健康状况、邻里问题、邻里居住时间、身体症状、睡眠合并症、睡眠困难和主观认知能力下降。结果我们发现,社会经济状况(β = -.222,p=.003)、身体症状(β =.246,p=.005)、邻里居住时间(β =.157,p=.结论这些发现强调了社会经济地位、身体症状、邻里因素和睡眠健康在影响该人群主观认知体验方面的复杂作用。对主观认知能力下降的研究有助于及早发现有认知能力下降风险的人群,以便及时采取干预措施、生活方式调整和潜在的预防措施。
