Neighborhood Socioeconomic Deprivation is Associated with Worse Cognitive Performance and in vivo Amyloid Accumulation

Key Points

• Cognitive performance declines as socioeconomic deprivation increases, showing a clear link.
• Participants in areas of high deprivation exhibit increased amyloid accumulation, measured through imaging.
• Observational analysis across diverse neighborhoods highlights the connection between environment and cognitive health.
• Findings may indicate that socioeconomic factors influence neurodegeneration; further investigation is warranted.
