This research aims to explore how loneliness and social isolation relate to subjective cognitive decline in perimenopausal women.
Examined the independent associations of loneliness and social isolation with subjective cognitive decline (SCD).
Analyzed the joint relationship between loneliness and social isolation.
Targeted a population of perimenopausal women.
Both loneliness and social isolation are independently associated with subjective cognitive decline.
A joint association exists between these factors and cognitive decline.
These findings support the need for psychosocial interventions to maintain cognitive health.
Abstract
In perimenopausal populations, loneliness and social isolation were not only independently associated with SCD but also exhibited a joint relationship. These findings offer deeper insights into understanding the relationship between social connections and SCD, and provide empirical evidence for developing psychosocial interventions aimed at preserving cognitive health in perimenopausal women.
