Bilingualism Appears to be Protective Against Cognitive Decline Related to Cerebral Tau in Mexican Americans: An HABS‐HD Study

Bilingualism is thought to provide protective effects from neurodegeneration and age‐related diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The protective effect is considered to be due to differences in grey and white matter between monolingual and bilinguals; however, no work to date has looked at differences in additional AD brain pathology. The aim of this study was to examine among Mexican Americans the impact of cerebral tau levels on cognitive functioning stratified by language status.
