Paper

Abstract

Evidence regarding neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) as an upstream determinant of cognitive outcomes has largely lacked a life-course perspective. We examined racial differences in the associations between midlife and late-life nSES and cognitive function in a cohort of 330 Black and White older Americans aged 70 + .

Research summary

The paper claims that neighborhood socioeconomic status in midlife and late-life is associated with cognitive function in older adults, with variations observed by race. This research is relevant as it explores social determinants of health that may influence cognitive aging, which is a critical aspect of longevity and age-related outcomes.
