Strengths

• Includes data from 161 participants, providing a specific sample size.
• Focuses on a specific demographic (Latinos aged 40–64) and geographic area (northern Manhattan).
• Examines responses to five distinct memory or thinking problems, offering structured symptom categories.

Limitations
