Differences by Race in the Health Status of Rural Cognitively Impaired Arkansans Methods: Data collection involved telephone interviews with a random sample of 348 individuals who were 70 and older, had been screened for mild cognitive impairment and lived in one of the 64 Arkansas counties designated as nonmetropolitan Results: Multivariate analyses found that African American respondents had greater IADL disability, poorer self-rated health status, greater number of errors on the cognitive screener, and more chronic health conditions. Further multivariate analyses found that African American men and African Americans with less than a ninth grade education had poorer health status outcomes, except for ADL disability. Discussion: Clinicians and policy makers should consider racial discrepancies in functional health status in determining medical and social service needs for seniors who are cognitively impaired and reside in rural settings. |
