The role of inflammation, chronic pain, and hypertension on cognitive functioning in an underserved, rural population: a Project FRONTIER study
The current study findings suggest that underserved rural populations have unique epidemiological experiences that are distinct from prior findings in urban populations. Inflammation and hypertension are important clinical considerations as risk factors for cognitive decline. Future research should explore interventions that support rural-dwelling individuals impacted by provider shortages.
