Associations of Mid‐to‐Late Life Neighborhood Disadvantage with Cognitive Trajectories and Dementia Outcomes in the Health and Retirement Study

Abstract

Background: Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage has been associated with worse cognitive outcomes in cross‐sectional studies. We prospectively investigate associations between mid‐to‐late life neighborhood deprivation, cognitive performance trajectories, and dementia outcomes in a U.S.‐based sample of older adults.
