INTRODUCTION: We developed demographically-adjusted normative data for Spanish- and English-speaking Latinos on the Version 3.0 of the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set Neuropsychological Battery (UDS3-NB). METHODS: Healthy Latino adults (N = 437) age 50-94 (191 Spanish- and 246 English-speaking) enrolled in Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers completed the UDS3-NB in their preferred language. Normative data were developed via multiple linear regression models on UDS3-NB raw scores stratified by language group with terms for demographic characteristics (age, years of formal education, and sex). RESULTS: Younger age and more years of education were associated with better performance on most tests in both language groups, with education being particularly influential on raw scores among Spanish-speakers. Sex effects varied across tests and language groups. DISCUSSION: These normative data are a crucial step toward improving diagnostic accuracy of the UDS3-NB for neurocognitive disorders among Latinos in the United States and addressing disparities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. HIGHLIGHTS: We developed normative data on the UDS3-NB for Latinos in the US ages 50-94. Younger age and more years of education were linked to better raw scores in several cognitive tests. Education was particularly influential on raw scores among Spanish-speakers. Sex effects varied across tests and between English- and Spanish-speaking Latinos. These normative data might improve diagnostic accuracy of the UDS3-NB among Latinos.
