Notes: Results are from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos baseline (2008–2011).
Note 1: All reported results are weighted to represent the target Hispanics/Latinos population based on the sampling weights of the 9063 participants in the analysis set (actual sample size varied by outcome from N = 8,797 for the DSS outcome to N = 9,042 for Six-Item Screener due to sporadic missing data of neurocognitive tests). Note 2: The Spanish English Verbal Learning Test (SEVLT). Note 3: The Word Fluency (WF) test of the Controlled Oral Word Association Test. Note 4: The Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS) test of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. Note 5: The βs are the coefficients from unadjusted bivariate linear regression for survey data. Note 6: CES-D-10 is the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale.
