Social Determinants of Health and Cognitive Performance: A Cross‐National Study of the U.S. and Mexico
Findings highlight the complex influence of SDoH on cognitive performance. Despite higher education and income, HRS participants scored lower across cognitive measures. Education was the strongest predictor of cognitive performance in both countries, reinforcing its role as a key factor for promoting healthy cognitive aging. Results emphasize the importance of considering sociocultural contexts when developing cognitive health interventions.
