Association Between Structural and Social Determinants of Health and Cognitive Functioning Among African Americans: the ARCHES Cohort
These findings suggest that improving S/SDOH early in life for Black Americans through targeted public policies could reduce dementia risk later. This includes promoting equitable access to education and healthcare and implementing programs to reduce material hardship. The results also support policies that address structural racism and its impact on the health and well-being of Black Americans.
