This study looked at the relationship between socioeconomic status in childhood and midlife and cognitive deterioration in adults. The study comprised about 5,700 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort study participants who were tracked for up to 27 years. The socioeconomic standing of the participants’ childhood and midlife neighborhoods was examined using numerous characteristics such as income, education level, and employment. Throughout the trial, cognitive function was assessed using a variety of tests. The findings revealed that individuals with greater socioeconomic status throughout childhood aged at a slower rate than those with lower childhood socioeconomic status. Those in the top tertile of childhood socioeconomic position showed approximately 18% slower cognitive deterioration than those in the lowest tertile.
