Association between brain structure imaging and health factors in a low education cohort
These findings suggest a potential neuroprotective role of Indigenous language knowledge on cortical and medial temporal atrophy. The unexpected association between diabetes and lower WMH requires further investigation. The absence of significant effects from vascular risk factors highlights the need for further studies to explore determinants of brain structure in low-education populations.
