Psychosocial stressors and cognitive function: An analysis using data from the English longitudinal study of ageing
Older adults experiencing multiple psychosocial stressors face an elevated risk of both lower initial cognitive function and accelerated decline over time. These findings underscore the importance of identifying and mitigating modifiable stressors-such as financial strain and caregiving demands-to potentially preserve cognitive health in later life. Interventions tailored to individuals with higher stress burdens may be especially beneficial in slowing cognitive deterioration.
