The association between Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation and cognitive decline by racial/ethnic groups: a 10‐year longitudinal study
Our findings suggest that SNAP participation may provide a protective effect on slowing cognitive decline, and such an effect differs by racial/ethnic groups. These results underscore the significance of nutrition assistance programs in supporting cognitive health in older adults. Future studies are warranted to further explore the underlying mechanisms between SNAP and cognitive health by racial/ethnic groups.
