The Cognitive Health Risk of Social Isolation Mediated by Dietary Risks: A Study with Older Korean Americans
Our findings suggest that the negative impact of social isolation on cognitive health is through its role in dietary habits and practice. Findings helped our understanding of how social isolation yields cognitive health risks and called attention to dietary risks in cognitive health promotion efforts. Targeted approaches should be taken for older immigrants who are socially isolated.
