Abstract

Little research has examined how the link between discrimination and cognitive health varies by where people live. This study investigates how living in non-urban versus urban areas in different regions in the United States moderates the discrimination-cognitive health link among older non-Hispanic Blacks. Data are from the 2012 and 2014 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS; N=2,347). Regression analyses indicate that experiencing more everyday discrimination is significantly associated with lower episodic memory when living in urban areas. Among non-Hispanic Blacks, the discrimination-episodic memory link does not significantly vary across U.S. regional contexts. Findings highlight variation in the association between everyday discrimination and cognitive health by where older non-Hispanic Blacks live. Results suggest the importance of socio-environmental factors in shaping how stressful experiences such as discrimination are linked to cognitive health in later life.

区域和城市化对老年黑人歧视-认知健康关系的影响。

很少有研究调查歧视与认知健康之间的联系如何因人们居住的地方而异。本研究调查了生活在美国不同地区的非城市地区与城市地区如何缓和老年非西班牙裔黑人之间的歧视-认知健康联系。数据来自2012年和2014年的健康与退休研究(HRS;N = 2347)。回归分析表明，当生活在城市地区时，经历更多的日常歧视与较低的情景记忆显著相关。在非西班牙裔黑人中，歧视-情景记忆的联系在美国各地区背景下没有显著差异。研究结果强调了日常歧视与认知健康之间关系的差异，这与老年非西班牙裔黑人居住的地方有关。研究结果表明，社会环境因素在影响歧视等压力经历与晚年认知健康之间的关系方面具有重要意义。
