Abstract

As minorities, African Americans (AAs) and Hispanic adults face enormous discrepancies across many dimensions, including race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, legal status, gender, insurance status, or severity of conditions. There is a lot of evidence in the literature about the relationship between lifestyle and cognitive functioning in older adults. However, due to the infancy of research in this area, the relationship between diet, physical activity and cognitive decline in ethnic minorities remains unclear. We discussed the neurocognitive changes associated with physical activity and/or dietary aspects in Hispanic and AA adults, and explored various factors that affect physical activity and dietary changes in this population. Our analysis confirmed the convincing link between certain dietary patterns, physical inactivity and poor cognitive performance in AA and Hispanic adults. This report allowed us to draw necessary conclusions regarding the structure of Jacobi Frailty Initiative in the Bronx, NY, USA. J Neurol Res. 2020;10(3):56-68 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jnr594

非裔美国人和西班牙裔成年人的神经认知表现与饮食和体育活动的关系:文献综述

作为少数民族，非裔美国人和西班牙裔成年人面临着许多方面的巨大差异，包括种族/民族、社会经济地位、法律地位、性别、保险状况或疾病严重程度。关于老年人的生活方式和认知功能之间的关系，文献中有很多证据。然而，由于这一领域的研究尚处于起步阶段，少数民族饮食、体育活动和认知能力下降之间的关系尚不清楚。我们讨论了西班牙裔和AA成人与体育活动和/或饮食方面相关的神经认知变化，并探讨了影响这一人群体育活动和饮食变化的各种因素。我们的分析证实了某些饮食模式、缺乏运动和西班牙裔成年人认知能力差之间的令人信服的联系。这份报告使我们能够对美国纽约州布朗克斯的雅可比衰弱倡议的结构得出必要的结论。中华神经科学杂志，2020;10(3):56-68 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jnr594
