The Differential Effects of Age on the Association Between Childhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Subjective Symptoms of Dementia Among Older Japanese People.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggested that low SES in childhood might have a long-term influence on dementia symptoms in late life and that this influence varied by age. This differential association might be explained by the social and historical context in Japan (ie, World War II, postwar chaos, and high economic growth) that has shaped participants' early experiences.
