Health disparities are widely documented in the literature with respect to African Americans, but few intra-race studies have been conducted to understand the mechanisms that underlie such health disparities (Sue & Dindsa, 2006). Executive functioning has been studied as an important neurocognitive component to engaging in complex activities of daily living, and some research has found a link between elements of executive functioning and health behaviors (Hall, Elias, & Crossley, 2007). Some research has found that disease burden, particularly CVRFs, play an important role in executive dysfunction. This study examined the roles of age, quality of education, and vascular disease burden on executive functioning and health behaviors in older African Americans. This study was unique in that it compared findings from a local sample of African Americans to a nationally representative sample (i.e., HRS/ADAMS). Path analysis demonstrated that quality of education (i.e., WRAT-3 Reading) was a significant predictor of global executive functioning scores, suggesting that cognitive reserve plays an important role in older African Americans' approach to neuropsychological measures of executive functioning. CVRFs were related to executive functioning in path analysis, but the relationship was less clear. Consistent with previous studies, IADLs were predicted by TMT-B. Health behaviors were predicted by quality of education through executive functioning, suggesting that educational attainment plays a significant role in older African Americans' engagement in health behaviors. Interventions aimed at improving health behavior engagement should be targeted at specific health behaviors.
