The 15th International Conference on Aging in the Americas (ICAA) Cognitive Aging in Mexico and Latinos Communities in the United States: Deconstructing Resilience is the 2022 iteration in the ICAA series focusing on aging and health in the Americas (CAA). The 2022 ICAA will focus on how cumulative and persistent structural social and economic disadvantage in the Mexican-origin population affects cognitive aging, brain health, and dementia.

• The increasing prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia, especially early-onset decline in the Mexican-origin population, increases the urgency of understanding the causes and consequences of cognitive aging for individuals, families, and society. The conference papers will address the following issues:
• The meaning and theoretical and practical usefulness of the concept of resilience in understanding important aspects of cognitive aging.
• Interventions that can be introduced earlier in life to increase cognitive reserve.
• Ways in which cognitive research be enhanced throughout the life course and in later life? and
• Identification of the cultural and social resources that can be mobilized to promote brain health and enhance the quality of life?

The 2022 ICAA Call for Abstracts is available here y para español aquí.
