The National Institute on Aging awarded a $1.89M project grant to Albert Einstein College of Medicine, effective July 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). This project will quantify mid-to-late life physical and sensory functioning in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), a longitudinal epidemiological study. The primary deliverables include defining the prevalence of physical and sensory impairments in middle-aged and older Hispanic and Latino participants, characterizing associated risks of frailty and disability, and identifying underlying contributors including social determinants of health and lifestyle factors such as physical activity, sleep, and socioeconomic position. The research addresses significant gaps in understanding health disparities within an aging U.S. Hispanic population, which is projected to exceed 19 million by 2060. Albert Einstein College of Medicine, leveraging its established role as the Bronx Field Center for HCHS/SOL, will conduct comprehensive health assessments and data collection to generate representative prevalence estimates and evidence regarding factors that accelerate the onset and progression of late-life sensory and motor impairments in Hispanic populations. This project supports the National Institute on Aging's mission to advance biomedical and behavioral research directed toward understanding aging processes and age-related health disparities in diverse populations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
