Abstract

Social determinants of health (SDOH) throughout life are key factors affecting cognitive aging. The long-term effects of life course SDOH and social mobility on cognitive function are not well understood. We aimed to examine how stage-specific and cumulative SDOH and social mobility related to cognitive function and decline, considering the roles of lifestyle and social participation.
