Intersectional race and gender differences in the forms of social engagement that matter most for cognitive health
This study supports the importance of participating in social engagement, particularly for Black men. Findings also highlight the value of taking an intersectional lens and considering multiple forms of social engagement, as activities may be differentially associated with cognitive health across race and gender. Longitudinal and interventional investigations are needed to better understand implications of social activities and their optimal frequency of engagement on cognitive health for individualized dementia prevention.
