Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (SALSA Study), 1996-2008: Neuropsychological Exam Data

The Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (SALSA Study) project tracked the incidence of physical and cognitive impairment as well as dementia and cardiovascular diseases in elderly Latinos in the Sacramento, California, region. The SALSA project aimed to assess cognitive, physical, and social functions, which include the ability to follow instructions, to perform certain movements, and to interact with others. The project explored the effects that cultural, nutritional, social, and cardiovascular risk factors have on overall health and dementia, and examined the association between diabetes and functional status. This study contains the neuropsychological exam data from the SALSA project, which includes data reflecting tests of respondents' verbal and non-verbal semantic memory object naming, spatial abilities pattern recognition, verbal attention span, and verbal conceptual thinking. Demographic information includes age given at follow-up visits, language, and educational level.
