Investigating mediating influences of β‐amyloid on the relationship between marital dissolution and cognition
This study provides novel evidence that the accumulation of Aβ pathology in the brain may be a pathway through which the stress of marital dissolution acts on memory abilities. This may have further implications for dementia risk, but future research is needed. Findings highlight that interventions after spousal loss may be helpful for the preservation of brain health.
