Neighborhood walkability, healthy food environments, and cognitive decline over 14 years among midlife women: Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Midlife women living in more walkable areas experienced slower decline in episodic memory over the 14-year period spanning midlife. Healthy food environments showed different effects on cognitive decline across racial/ethnic groups. Future studies should investigate precise mechanisms that underline the observed associations to identify targeted policy recommendations and intervention strategies.
