Cohort Changes in Cognitive Function Among Mexican Older Adults from 2001 to 2021
Our findings advance our understanding of cohort differences in cognitive decline and how the influence of multimorbidity on cognitive decline has evolved in Mexico. The slower rate of decline among the recent cohort suggests potential improvements in cognitive reserve due to educational improvements. Improvements in healthcare access over the past decades may have mitigated the negative consequences of multimorbidity on cognitive decline, potentially explaining the absence of cohort differences.
