Associations Between Early/Current Neighborhood Deprivation and Midlife Cognitive Functioning: Results from the Colorado Adoption/Twin Study of Lifespan behavioral development and cognitive aging (CATSLife)
Early-life and current neighborhood deprivation were independently associated with poorer processing speed. Additionally, current neighborhood deprivation was linked to poorer spatial functioning, even when accounting for early-life conditions. These results underscore the importance of considering both early and concurrent neighborhood environments as potential influences on cognitive functioning.
