Abstract

• Latino adults are disproportionately impacted by dementia due to high exposure to adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). • "Brain health literacy" in middle adulthood may be a modifiable factor that could help mitigate later life risk of cognitive decline. • The proposed Brain Health Literacy framework can guide health promotion efforts, with the ultimate goal of increasing brain health equity.
