    The CFI may be added to cognitive screening protocols to identify individuals who may need further assessment. Integrating the CFI into screening strategies in LA could play a pivotal role in reducing cognitive health disparities and advancing tailored dementia prevention initiatives that address the region's specific sociocultural and healthcare challenges.

    Executive Functions in Latin American Older Adults: Exploring the Concept Shifting Test and Its Relationship with the <i>APOE Gene</i> in a Cross‐Sectional Sample from the LatAm‐FINGERS Study

    Weak correlations between CST shifting, Stroop-flexibility, and fluency tasks suggest they assess different EF aspects. The moderate CST-TMT correlation may indicate refined cognitive flexibility measurement in CST. While useful for EF assessment in LA, CST doesn't replace TMT. Diverse tools are crucial for early dementia detection. The lack of association between APOE-ε4 and cognitive scores emphasizes the importance of assessment regardless of genetic risk.
