Associations between solar and geomagnetic activity and cognitive function in the Normative Aging study

CONCLUSIONS: Periods of high SGA were associated with cognitive function. SGA may not equally impact all aspects of cognitive function, as evidenced by differences in associations observed for the MMSE, global cognitive score, and individual cognitive tests. Given that much of the pathology of cognitive decline in the elderly remains unexplained, studies specifically targeting decline and with longer follow-up periods are warranted.PMID:38648690 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2024.108666
