Abstract EN
Using cognitive data from the Health and Retirement Study and Asset Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old studies that were collected between 1992 and 2004, McArdle and colleagues (2007) found that a two-factor model (episodic memory and mental status) fit better than a one-factor model.
The question that was addressed in the present study was whether these results would replicate in newer cohorts of data, collected between 2006 and 2010.
We also tested age, education, and gender as predictors of the identified factors.
Results confirm that a two-factor structure fits better than the single-factor model in the newer cohorts.
Differential predictors were also observed.
