Abstract

Childhood adversities and recent life stressors are less understood on their joint impact on physical and cognitive health in older adults. This study explores stressor typologies and their association with health. We analyzed data from 14,236 older adults (ages 50-101, M = 67.2) from the Health and Retirement Study (2010-2020).
