The impact of living environmental factors on cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment: evidence from the Chinese elderly population
This research provides substantial evidence that living environmental factors significantly affect cognitive function and MCI risk in Chinese older adults. Enhancing living conditions may be a key strategy for promoting cognitive health and preventing MCI in this demographic. Further research is necessary to explore the long-term impacts and potential intervention strategies to optimize living environments for better cognitive outcomes in aging populations.
