Research suggests the prevalence of cognitive impairment among older U.S. Latinos is increasing relative to the older U.S. population which has experienced and overall decline. This has been attributed in part to extended longevity, lower educational attainment, and a higher prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease among older Latinos. However, less is known regarding the number of years and proportion of late life spent with self-reported cognitive impairment among this rapidly aging group and whether cognitive impairment life expectancy outcomes vary across U.S. Latino subgroups by country of origin. To fill this gap, our investigation uses data from the National Health Interview Survey (1997-2015) to estimate Sullivan-based life tables of cognitively normal and cognitively impaired life expectancies for adults 50 years and older. Results indicate significant heterogeneity among Latinos, with island-born Puerto Rican women spending the most years, and foreign-born Cuban men the fewest years lived with self-reported cognitive impairment.
