Bidirectional Association Between Lifestyle and Cognitive Function in Aging Adults.
Abstract
Lifestyle research on cognitive health has been largely unidirectional and cross-sectional, with limited attention to multidimensional and bidirectional relationships; this study examines longitudinal associations in middle- and older adults. Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2006-2020) included physiological and psychosocial lifestyle factors and cognition assessed by the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE). Analyses used Mplus 8.9 with cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) and random intercept CLPM (RI-CLPM), adjusting for sex, age, smoking, drinking, and disability. CLPM showed significant lagged effects of lifestyle on cognition across waves (β = .010 to .013,

Research summary
The study claims that lifestyle factors have significant lagged effects on cognitive function in aging adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between lifestyle choices and cognitive health, which are critical components in understanding and potentially mitigating age-related cognitive decline.
