Lifetime Socioeconomic Status, Cognitive Decline, and Brain Characteristics
In this cohort study, SES, mainly in adulthood, was associated with a person's cognitive status and brain structure, resulting in a discrepancy in cognitive status over time. These findings point to a need for interventions that improve SES throughout the lifespan, particularly for Black individuals, who had lower SES than White individuals.
