Disparities in neighbourhood characteristics and 10-year dementia risk by nativity status

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that foreign-born older adults have higher neighbourhood physical disorder and lower social cohesion compared to native-born older adults. Despite the higher dementia risk, we observed for foreign-born older adults, and this relationship was not moderated by either neighbourhood physical disorder or social cohesion. Further research is needed to understand what factors are contributing to elevated dementia risk among foreign-born older adults.PMID:38356391 | DOI:10.1017/S2045796024000076
