Non-economic social deprivation and cognitive functioning later in life: Results from the DELCODE study
= 0.004).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that non-economic social deprivation, especially in terms of access to a grocery store, pharmacy, postal office, and bus stop, might be relevant for maintaining cognitive functioning in old age. Further research should explore potential mechanisms of how these environmental conditions affect brain aging and neurodegenerative processes.
