What is multidimensional deprivation linked with?

Studies link multidimensional deprivation with 2 measures, most often IDEA cognitive screen score (1 study) and geriatric Depression Scale score (1).

IDEA cognitive screen score

1 study

Multidimensional deprivation is associated with IDEA cognitive screen score in humans (Older adults in three rural communities in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania; adjusted analysis) (β -1.97, 95% CI -2.97 to -0.97 per unit increase in deprivation score).
