| Annotation | America is undergoing a number of demographic transitions that will impact on society. By 2050 it is projected that there will be a decline in the proportion of White people but an increase in the proportion of Black, Asian and Hispanic people. As a result, these population projections will yield an increase in the number of ethnic older adults. These shifts require that minority ethnic ageing be placed at the forefront of research, practice and policy agendas at the local, state and national levels. This special issue contains an introduction followed by four articles which between them aim to stimulate discourse about minority ageing using a life-course perspective. Topics covered include: African American families' responses to mild cognitive impairment; biopsychosocial risk factors for falls among older African Americans; Black-White differences in pathways to late-life functional limitations; and variability in late-life functional limitations among White, Black and Hispanic older adults.
