The current study aimed to investigate the associations between family relationship and cognitive function among Hispanic older population. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with a sample size of 1,580 individuals from the Health and Retirement Study in the United States (mean age = 65.65 (SD = 9.33)). Family relationship was measured in three dimensions: structural, functional, and appraisal support. The results of linear regression analysis indicated that diverse composition of family network (β = .070, p = .009) and receiving financial support from family members (β = .060, p = .018) were associated with better cognitive function. Moderation analyses demonstrated that these associations were greater for Hispanic women than men. Current findings highlight the importance of family relationship on cognitive function among Hispanic older population and suggest that researchers and policymakers should put emphasis on the structural and functional aspects of family relationship to improve their cognitive health.

目前的研究旨在调查西班牙裔老年人口家庭关系与认知功能之间的关联。对来自美国健康与退休研究（平均年龄 = 65.65 ( SD  = 9.33)）的 1,580 个人样本量进行了横断面分析。家庭关系从三个维度来衡量：结构性、功能性和评估支持。线性回归分析的结果表明，家庭网络的不同组成（β = .070，p  = .009）和接受家庭成员的经济支持（β = .060，p = .018) 与更好的认知功能相关。适度分析表明，西班牙裔女性的这些关联大于男性。目前的研究结果强调了家庭关系对西班牙裔老年人认知功能的重要性，并建议研究人员和政策制定者应重视家庭关系的结构和功能方面，以改善他们的认知健康。
