Ecological Momentary Intervention to Replace Sedentary Time With Physical Activity to Improve Executive Function in Midlife and Older Latino Adults: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

In addition, older Latino adults have a higher prevalence of risk factors for cognitive decline, and the rate of increase in risk factors is greatest among Latinos [7,8]. Latinos further engage in less leisure time physical activity and spend more time sedentary, compared to non-Latino White participants, ranging from 46.8% to 74.2% versus 34.3% to 58.2% [9,10]. Thus, increasing physical activity is of tremendous significance to this population.

Authors’ Response to Peer Reviews of “Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Latino Families With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Qualitative Interviews With Family Caregivers and Primary Care Providers”

Introduction: This sentence should be revised for clarity: “As of January of 2022, Latinos represent 8% of the US 65 and older population, but 13% of COVID-19 cases in the same age group [9].” It is not clear if the 13% of cases is the percentage of COVID-19 cases in Latino individuals aged 65 years and older. Response: Yes, it refers specifically to the 65 years and older population for both things: the US population and the COVID-19 cases.

Refining Cultural Adaptations of a Behavioral Intervention for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Qualitative Interview Study in Washington State

Neither the in-person or virtual STAR-C interventions, however, were developed with explicit consideration of the experience of Latinos providing care to a family member living with ADRD. Caregiver interventions for Latinos need cultural adaptations because cultural values and beliefs, such as familismo (dedication and commitment to family) and respeto (respect) play a pivotal role in shaping caregiving interactions with people living with dementia, experiences, and perceptions of support [13].
