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

Bilingualism has been considered to exert 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 fill this gap and examine among Mexican Americans the impact of amyloid burden on cognitive functioning stratified by language status.
