Risk Factors for Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Differ Across Classification Codes Evaluating Disadvantaged and Rural Regions in a Kentucky Appalachian Cohort

Understanding "rurality" and disadvantaged classification systems is complex but remains very important for research designed to identify high risk URG populations for cognitive decline & dementia.
